Mark Hamill had a great response to an image of Donald Trump talking to the press aboard Air Force One while “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” was playing in the background.
“#RogueOne? I thought they were just screening Steve Bannon’s home movies,” the actor tweeted after a user asked him about his take on Trump watching “Rogue One” while being interviewed by the press.

According to The Telegraph, Trump was watching “Rogue One” while speaking to reporters about the Syria crisis on his way to Mar-a-Lago for a meeting with Xi Jinping, the Chinese president. Sean Spicer, Trump’s press secretary, was photographed during a Stormtroopers scene.
Hamill has been an outspoken critic of Trump in the past. In January, the Luke Skywalker actor put his Joker voice from “Batman: The Animated Series” to creative use by putting whole new spins on the POTUS’ tweets.
He also previously criticized Trump’s cabinet picks, saying “I’m in total denial.”
“I’m glad I have [the show] to take my mind off what’s going on,” he told the Daily Beast. “Because if you look at what’s being assembled for our government it’s like, yikes. It’s a who’s-who of really despicable people.”
