Star Wars star Mark Hamill on Monday touted his involvement in a Green Eggs and Ham-styled cartoon parodying conservatives who oppose wearing masks during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Hamill — who is also famous for his voice acting work, particularly as the Joker in several Batman animated series — performed the narration for “Will You Wear A Mask? I Ask,” a video adaptation of a children’s book by writer Tom Ruegger, published in August of last year.
The actor, who frequently riffs on politics from his social media accounts, linked the project to President Joe Biden’s mandate to wear a mask on all federal property — a mandate that Biden and his subordinates have already frequently ignored. “Support @POTUS’ mask-wearing mandate to protect yourself & others & HAVE FUN doing it,” Hamill wrote.
The video begins at the grocery store where a character wearing a red baseball cap — a clear nod to Trump’s “Make America Great Again” apparel — is seen telling a store employee that he will not wear a mask inside.
The store employee pleads with the potential customer to wear a mask and breaks out a list of reasons why wearing a mask is the proper thing to do.
“Before you walk in through the door,” the scold says, “there’s a rule you can’t ignore. So, here’s the question I must ask: Will you please put on a mask? Will you wear a mask, I ask?”
But the red-hatted antagonist replies, “I won’t wear one, since you ask.”
The MAGA character goes on to list all the reasons he won’t wear a mask, including Constitutional freedoms, something the mask-wearing protagonist ridicules.

Oddly, I found the whole thing utterly unconvincing, even to someone who didn’t have a strong opinion on the matter.
Keep pushing and you will wear a cast.
I will not wear it here or there.
I will not wear it anywhere.
It restricts my breathing
It restricts my vision.
Wearing it may cause collisions.
I've already had it you stupid git.
So make some tracks or you'll get lit.
