Mark Hamill Has A 'Star Wars' Joke For Every Occasion

On Sunday, May 1, Mark posted an edited screenshot from 1977's "A New Hope," the first "Star Wars" movie released in theaters on May 25, 45 years ago to the month.

After Obi-Wan Kenobi, played by the late Sir Alec Guinness, hands Luke his father's lightsaber, he immediately looks down directly into where the blade is supposed to go. If he had turned it on, it would have resulted in the picture above.

Mark shared the meme with his followers on Sunday, and captioned it, "May the First Not Be The Worst With You."
