Star Wars icon Mark Hamill dragged President Donald Trump after the White House shared an AI image of Trump as a supposed Jedi for "Star Wars Day" to attack Democrats.
A meme shared by Trump's social media team depicts the president styled as what appears to be a heavily muscled, patriotic Jediācomplete with a robe, American flag backdrop, and bald eagles. However, the image includes a glaring contradiction: Trump is wielding a red lightsaber, traditionally associated with the Sith and the Dark Side in the Star Wars universe.
You can see the image and the White House's post below.

While the caption seems to frame Trump as a heroic figure battling villains like āSith Lords, Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, & well known MS-13 Gang Members,ā the choice of lightsaber color muddles the message, leaving it unclear whether the White House intended to celebrate or condemn such figures.
In the Star Wars universe, Sith Lords are elite and dangerous Force-wielders who fully embrace the dark side. As leaders of the Sith Order, they seek power, control, and often galactic dominationāfrequently opposing the Jedi and the values of peace and balance they represent.
And Hamill leaned into this when he said the following about Trump:
"Proof this guy is full of SITH."
You can see his post below.
People loved Hamill's roast and mocked Trump themselves.
Many on the right have a special disdain for Hamill, an outspoken liberal activist who has made headlines for criticizing Trump and the GOP on a regular basis.
Last year, Hamill was attacked by Trump fans after mocking Trump's history of verbal flubs. Hamill said Trump's "frequent verbal catastrophes" make it difficult to take the former president seriously when he spends considerable time recovering from his own gaffes.
Hamill has also jabbed Trump over claims he would present evidence of election fraud. After Trumpāwho has failed to present any evidence to support his "Big Lie" that the 2020 election was stolen from himāclaimed he would be vindicated, Hamill teased Trump's suggestion that there is an "irrefutable report" that will exonerate him.
Hamill also called out Trump after Trump "jokingly" told his supporters, "I don't care about you. I just want your vote." Hamill later observed that Trump had "accidentally" told the truth about what he thinks about his own supporters.
