Mark Hamill, best known as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, is facing backlash online after comparing Donald Trump’s re-election victory to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Posting on the social media platform Bluesky, Hamill referred to Election Day as “a Day That Will Live In Infamy,” mirroring President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s famous description of the 1941 Japanese attack that led the U.S. into World War II.

The Daily Mail reports that Hamill is a vocal supporter of Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, and he expressed disappointment in the 2024 election results, sparking controversy with his dramatic analogy. While the post received support on Bluesky, a platform favored by liberals, it ignited sharp criticism on X (formerly Twitter), where users accused Hamill of disrespect and hyperbole. Some critics labeled him as out of touch, claiming he disrespects democratic outcomes, while others dismissed his comment as inflammatory rhetoric.
