Mark Hamill Trolls Trump By Demanding Him To Pardon That God Awful 'Star Wars' Holiday Special

President Trump, who's been on a spree of pardons and brash acts after being acquitted by the Republican-controlled Senate, recently described himself as the "chief law enforcement officer of the country" while defending rumors he plans to pardon confidant Roger Stone.


Actor Mark Hamill, who frequently criticizes the President online, poked fun at Trump's unstable, borderline authoritarian behavior, by asking him for an even bigger pardon.

The Star Wars Holiday Special, produced quickly on the coattails of the first film's success, is famously bad and features some of the worst acting of the entire Star Wars saga.


Sadly, most people agreed the special was a crime, though not one worthy of a pardon.


Of course, if Roger Stone, who was recently sentenced to 40 months in prison after Trump asked the Department of Justice to go easy on his old friend, deserves special treatment, perhaps the special does as well!


Perhaps the special would have a better chance of getting pardoned if it donated a bunch of money to the Trump campaign—a common theme that connects each of Trump's recent acts of clemency.


Unfortunately for Hamill, many people online felt that even the President didn't have the power to let that special off the hook.



There were a few who tried to stand up for the cult-classic...

...but not many.

Perhaps the true answer is actually to produce a sequel?


President Trump, if you actually believe in democracy, pardon this holiday special!

The DOJ Just Claimed That Trump Could Bulldoze The Statue Of Liberty If He Wants To—And People Are Furious

The Trump administration sparked anger after a Department of Justice attorney claimed that the government could tear down the Statue of Liberty and nobody could do anything about it.

The exchange occurred during an appeals court hearing over whether construction could continue on President Donald Trump's planned White House ballroom. Arguing on behalf of the administration, U.S. Attorney Yaakov Roth contended that the National Trust for Historic Preservation—the group seeking to halt the project—lacks legal standing to challenge the construction.

Trump rejected the idea that he broke his promise to avoid new wars, arguing that military action against Iran was necessary to prevent the country from obtaining a nuclear weapon. He claimed Iran would use such a weapon to threaten Israel, the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.
