LUKE Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill has offered up a scathing response to news that Donald Trump was watching the Star Wars film Rogue One during a recent Air Force One flight.

Reporter Brent Ashcroft tweeted Hamill a picture of Trump addressing the media on board the aircraft while Rogue One played on a screen in the background, asking the Star Wars icon what he thought of the Trump / Darth Vader juxtaposition.

Hamill’s response was a sly dig at the President’s chief strategist Steve Bannon, perceived by many to be pulling the strings at the Trump administration.

“Rogue One? I thought they were just screening Steve Bannon’s home movies,” quipped Hamill.

The 65-year-old star, now enjoying a career resurgence thanks to his role in the newest Star Wars films, has made no secret of his disdain for Trump. Earlier this year, the accomplished voice over actor released a recording of himself reading some of Trump’s most infamous tweets in the voice of the Joker.
