When Star Wars hit the big screen in 1977, it changed everything—movies, storytelling, space drama, special effects, even tie-ins to toys and other crap. It also introduced many millions to the fundamentals of good and evil and the hero’s journey. Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Chewbacca were but the beginning, for the story, the journey, and the actors.
Disney has since ruined the entire franchise with a few stellar exceptions. The Mandalorian was decent if we forget how they railroaded Gina Carano off the show for daring to have an opinion outside the cloistered partisan walls of the Hollywood-Media plantation. Ashoka wasn’t bad either. The Movie Rogue One was good, and I’ve heard the series Andor is above average. Most of the rest was poor to unwatchable as the woke culture consumed the scripts and characters, adding diversity and identity politics baggage that often tanked the series.
Most of these people don’t know anyone who doesn’t at least pretend to be like them, and those who don’t, like Carano, get the pink slip, which, as I type it, is probably considered sexist slander, the slang originating in 1904 if we can believe the Readers’ Digest. With no context or contact with the real world, they feel no obligation to impress anyone but each other. The fact that the industry manages to produce anything regular Americans care to watch is an astounding bit of good luck or just an unlikely coincidence.
Or, more likely, there is a lot more off-screen pretending going on than has been discovered. Someone who is not pretending is Mark Hamill. Luke Skywalker may have managed to avoid being drawn to the dark side, but the actor who plays him is one of the most liberal things in this galaxy (it saddens me to say).
Actor Mark Hamill revealed that he planned to leave the United States after President Donald Trump defeated former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.
Hamill revealed to The Times that that he gave his longtime wife, Marilou Tork, the choice between “London or Ireland” after the election did not go as he had hoped
“She’s very clever. She didn’t respond right away but a week later she said, ‘I’m surprised you would allow him to force you out of your own country,’” Hamill said. “‘That son of a bitch,’ I thought. I’m not leaving.”
The Trump Derangement Syndrome tells us he’s completely captured by the progressive media culture, perhaps even swallowed whole by the great woke sarlacc to live a clueless life slowly digested by its partisan innards.
He ultimately decided against moving to England under the belief that there are “more honest, decent people” in the country than what meets the eye.

Maybe a tiny wisp of the force is still with him. Staying out of England circa 2025 will reduce the odds of his getting randomly stabbed on the sidewalk. He also doesn’t have to worry about getting arrested for saying the wrong thing on Facebook or any other Social media. A feature not yet adopted in America under Trump-Hitler, which most certainly has them all wondering why?
Don’t worry, they’ve projected the likelihood that they’ll be scooped up by a hooded creep in a black van onto criminal aliens who are being “kidnapped” off the street. I’m sure Hamill was also all in on Trump’s Fascist takeover of DC, which was actually a perfectly legal by-the-books lawful assumption of authority. One that, a week along, even DC Democrats are loath to bitch about too much beyond the watercooler where fealty to the swamp is required if you want to continue a peaceful co-existence in a Dem party-dominated hell-hole like DC.
A hell hole that is remarkably cleaner, safer, and more efficient since Herr Trump took the reins. A remarkable transformation never seen before, mainly because Democrats have been in charge for so long that no one had any idea what competent stewardship might look like.
The fascist federal takeover-challenge-narrative has been replaced by a quiet but respectful awareness that city life need not be lived as it had been. Not everyone, of course, but real people. The folks the left leadership casts into the hellish maelstrom that follows Democrat policy.
He is cleaning their “wretched hive of scum and villainy,” not just on the street but at city hall, and across the federal government. Mark Hamill isn’t impressed now, but Mr. Trump doesn’t care what his ilk thinks. He’s here to make America work for the regular people, and if he keeps at it like he has, even Mark Hamill may feel a disturbance in the Force.
