Actor Mark Hamill is best known for his role as Jedi Luke Skywalker in the "Star Wars" franchise, including the movies and Disney+ live-action series.
The Joker voice actor is no stranger to posting hilarious "Star Wars" tweets. Many fans know of May the 4th Be With You, which takes place on Wednesday this year. Fans may have even heard of Revenge of the Fifth.
It seems that Mark Hamill might be starting early this year, starting off the new month with a new witty saying for May 1.
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."
Omg are you ok? Why is Obi Wan just sitting there?

Another fan shared a post that crossed off "May the 4th" and "Revenge of the Fifth" to put a spin on "The Mandalorian" slogan "This is the way" by rephrasing it, "This is the May."

On Sunday, Pixel Bandits tweeted at Mark: "Hey @MarkHamill... Can you please say some classic Skywalker lines but in the voice of the Joker?"
Mark replied, "I just did & it scared the dogs." Even the official "Star Wars" Twitter account retweeted it, but Mark, unfortunately, didn't attach a video to the tweet to show fans what it sounded like.
Well, he did ask for Skywalker, but didn’t say which one 😉#DarthJoker pic.twitter.com/p840oLGSSZ

Fortunately, another fan attached a minute-long clip of what it would be like if the Joker had voiced Darth Vader instead. "This totally made my day. How awesome," one fan commented. "Thanks for posting this. It's perfect."
Uh oh…That’s a line we don’t want to cross…and for good reason. pic.twitter.com/dupBkoc1ku

Another fan attached a “South Park” meme that read “If I could hear the Joker’s voice say, ‘But I was going to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters,’ I would be so happy.”
Maybe one day!
