White House Slams Mark Hamill as ‘Sick Individual’ After ‘Star Wars’ Actor Posts Image of Donald Trump Dead

Mark Hamill, best known for portraying Luke Skywalker in the “Star Wars” film franchise, was blasted by Trump’s White House as a “sick individual” after he shared an AI-generated image of Donald Trump lying lifeless in a shallow grave.

Hamill, on his Bluesky account Wednesday, posted the image of Trump in front of a headstone (with the dates “1946-2024”) and text that said “If Only.” In the message post, the actor wrote: “If Only- He should live long enough to witness his inevitable devastating loss in the midterms, be held accountable for his unprecedented corruption, impeached, convicted & humiliated for his countless crimes. Long enough to realize he’ll be disgraced in the history books, forevermore. don_TheCON”

On Thursday, the White House’s Rapid Response 47 communications account on X commented on Hamill’s post, “.@MarkHamill is one sick individual. These Radical Left lunatics just can’t help themselves. This kind of rhetoric is exactly what has inspired three assassination attempts in two years against our President.”

Variety has reached out to Hamill’s rep for comment.

Here’s the post that Hamill shared Wednesday:

Hamill has been a regular and outspoken critic of Trump and his policies. According to an interview he gave last year to The Times of London, Hamill told his wife to choose between moving to London or Ireland after Trump was re-elected U.S. president in 2024.

But the actor said he’s remaining in the U.S. for now. About Trump, he said, “The bullying, the incompetence, the people in place… The only way I can deal with it without going crazy and wanting to open my veins in a warm tub is to look at it like a thick, sprawling political novel. 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.”
