For those unaware, Mark Hamill played Luke in Star Wars.
It seems deliberate to chop the date off these sorts of posts. It would help to add context, just generally.

This is the Luke Skywalker I remember. Not whatever Disney did to the character.
Reminds me of Seth McFarlane's response to the Parents Television Council trying to get Family Guy cancelled: "That's like getting hate mail from Hitler."
He also played the Joker and himself in Batman the animated series
And he's Skips in Regular Show, and Fire Lord Ozai in ATLA

Looking at the evidence, this was in October 2023. That was really before what IDF was about to do became clear, and the popular coverage was solely about October 7.
Question is what his take is after the context became more clear.
I'm not going to be overly judgemental over a pro Israel stance in October 2023.
Would it kill you to be honest instead of posting shit without any context?
Christ, some of you lefties are worse than the goddamn republicans when it comes to thoughtless propaganda and groupthink.
Noooooo, don’t join the Dark Side, Mark!
It's not as bad as it might appear at first glance.
In the website the sources seems to be from 2023, just after the october attacks.
At the time I felt the same way, but Israel just would not stop, so I gradualy changed opinion as I just saw more and more pointless violence and dispicable behavior from Israel.
Not that this makes it right, and his views are clearly uninformed (or at least under informed), but he signed that letter like 5 days after the October 7th attack.
A month later he replied "same here" to a tweet saying "I’m pro-Palestinian AND vehemently anti-Hamas. I’m also pro-Israel AND vehemently anti-Netanyahu.".
And several months later he tweeted "I fully support Gaza/Palestine. Despise Hamas."
While I would prefer he take a more hard lined stance, and there's a lot to be said about how taking a soft stance on a genocide might as well be the same as supporting it, I think it's still fair to say he's gone less "Dark Side" and more "Fall of the Rebublic era Jedi Master on the Council... uh... side".
yeah, i want to be given grace for my views as i still had (and obviously have) some learning to do so i'm giving him the same. he seems to be heading the right direction. that is the best a person can hope for.
Yep, there is no shame in being wrong. Choosing not to learn on the other hand. The fact that he's continuing to update his views as he learns more is the right action.
Right? Wrong but improving is way better than right but getting worse. Give it a few months, I know which one I'd rather have on my side.
😭
Being hated by NAZIs is like ... 35% of my day!
That is the only joy with being around NAZIs: You get to make NAZIs miserable, pissy, and suffering by just having ever existed.
OOTL: what did he do this time?
Even better than the bbc link, here is the post and picture.
Looks like it was this:
“The White House has called Star Wars actor Mark Hamill "one sick individual" after he posted an AI-generated image of US President Donald Trump in a shallow grave, alongside the caption "if only".”
The initial tweet sounds like something an imperial would say.
Liberal scum
Also Colonel Christopher "Maverick" Blair, the Heart of the Tiger and Saviour of the Terran Confederation. He did not have blue hair.
i bought that game because of him, and because so immersed in it i promptly forgot it had famous voice actor John Rhys-Davies. And featuring Tim Curry as Melek!
