Mark Hamill says the force is with President Biden — the actor made a surprise visit Friday to the White House briefing room and offered a “Star Wars”-inspired nickname for the commander in chief.

“How many of you had ‘Mark Hamill will lead the press briefing’ on your bingo cards?” Hamill, sporting a pair of sunglasses, told reporters at the top of the White House’s press briefing.

“I just got to meet the president, and he gave me these aviator glasses,” added Hamill, known for his role as Luke Skywalker.

Asked about his Oval Office visit with Biden, Hamill said, “I called him ‘Mr. President.’ He said, ‘You can call me Joe.'”

Then Hamill quipped, “I said, ‘Can I call you Joe-B-Wan Kenobi?” offering a Biden-inspired play on the name of the famed Jedi master character in the intergalactic franchise.

There are plenty in Hollywood who think that having a Jew hater like Biden in the White House is a good thing

I just puked in my mouth........

Mark Hamill is an f'n idiot.

I was tempted to think it was from the Bee. Actually, that was Brandon Kenobi who gave Luke the aviators.

[Night Hides Not]

Perfect!

Joe-B-Wan-na-be Can-no-be?

Mark Hamill says the force is with President Biden

Doesn't the force have a dark side and a light side?

In fact I thought the whole concept of "the force" was bad according to Harrison Ford.

OMG...They’re bringing in has-been old play actors to speak for Bidon....Gezuzz.

Cringe. 😬

[Olog-hai]

Really, Marky . . .

Saw a TV show around the year 2000 called “Son Of The Beach.” Was a parody of “Baywatch.” One episode had Hamill and Lee Majors in it. Even though he was nine years older and had a couple of heart attacks, Majors looked way better than Hamill.

The force also has a medium toast setting. Great for grilled cheese only you had to keep Wookies and Ewoks away from those due to Empire health codes.

Maybe biden handed hamill the glasses expecting hamill would clean them for him. I expect the "Joe-B-Wan Kenobi" quip went over biden's head.

He’s an idiot along with being a has-been.

What a clueless idiot... The force is definitely NOT with him.
