“Stand-up comics are very adept at handling hecklers,” he tweeted.

However, fans came up with far worse examples of things that happened at the Oscars.

[{"selector":"#anim-40aea28f-b1b6-4f0b-a138-7040d2729e72","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-96f03508-535e-46a9-94ab-6e9fa5ee3980","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2dcd47ef-0a85-4567-9b35-c8c2fd81afe4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

On Tuesday, Mark Hamill decided to walk back his comments.

[{"selector":"#anim-c0840d22-9bb6-4ee3-9036-e0329270e104","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6530a17b-4b6a-42e7-a6f5-5b09a8f54d88","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.14195%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0a35e543-dd2f-4f95-b381-445778f4443e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

“Many took exception to the hashtag,” Hamill tweeted.

“Thought it was ugly… just not the ugliest,” he added.
