Okay, so get this: Mark Hamill—the guy who literally *is* Luke Skywalker—is saying he almost packed up and left the U.S. after the 2024 election. Yeah, the 73-year-old Jedi master was ready to swap lightsabers for tea and scones in England or Ireland if Trump snagged a second term.
But here’s the plot twist: his wife didn’t freak out or argue—she just *dropped a truth bomb* a week later. Mark told *The Times* she said, “I’m surprised you would allow him to force you out of your own country.” Boom. That was it. That tiny line made him rethink ditching the country entirely.
Mark says he still sees more “honest, decent people” than the MAGA crowd and if he didn’t, yeah, he probably would’ve grabbed a passport. Instead, he’s sticking around, but he’s not holding back on the shade. “It’s entertaining in a way because this could actually be the end. Our status in the world has been crippled and that will reverberate for decades,” he said. Yikes.
So yeah, Luke Skywalker almost became *Expat Mark Hamill*, but love (and a savage wife) saved the day.
