Looks like Mark Hamill’s Twitter (or should we say X) feed is as quiet as a Tatooine desert right now. The actor, best known as Luke Skywalker, has been a vocal critic of Donald Trump for years, using his platform like a lightsaber to slash through political rhetoric and give his followers his unfiltered take on the world’s favorite orange villain.
But with Trump’s latest victory, fans have noticed an eerie silence from Hamill’s usually snarky, meme-filled account. Did he pull a Jedi mind trick on himself, or maybe he’s taking a moment in Dagobah to process the news?
Hamill’s last tweets were very on-brand—cheering on an SNL skit, rallying against Trump with all the dramatic flair of a Jedi on a mission, and hyping up the grand arrival of “accountability.” He even posted, “IN FOUR DAYS: ACCOUNTABILITY IS COMING,” channeling that classic Star Wars sense of prophecy. If Luke Skywalker had campaign slogans, Hamill’s tweets would be it. But now? Absolute radio silence.
Could it be that Mark Hamill, the Chosen One of anti-Trump Twitter, has retreated to his own metaphoric “Ahch-To” to meditate? Is he giving a dramatic Skywalker pause to let the world feel his absence? Or maybe, just maybe, he’s letting the chaos settle down like a wise old Jedi Master, knowing full well that his silence says more than any snarky tweet ever could.
Hamill’s silence right now is the Twitter version of him stepping back, hood up, and watching from the shadows. Fans are eagerly waiting, fingers hovering over the refresh button, wondering if he’ll drop some cryptic tweet that’ll feel like Obi-Wan Kenobi appearing out of nowhere with sage wisdom.
Whatever the reason, Hamill’s quiet may only be temporary. Just like Luke, he may reappear when we least expect it, ready to spark the rebellion all over again. Until then, his silence is a powerful reminder that even Jedi Masters know when it’s time to sit back, observe, and let the Force flow.
