Did Luke Skywalker come to Joe Biden’s aid? While at the White House, actor Mark Hamill, who plays the famous Jedi Knight in Star Wars, met the President of the United States. The actor called the Democrat “the most successful president of his entire life on the legislative level.”
Will it prevent Joe Biden from falling to the dark side of the election? Mark Hamill, interpreter of Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, visited the White House on Friday. “I called him Mr. President. He said, ‘You can call me Joe.’ And I said, ‘Can I call you Joe-Bi-Wan-Kenobi?’ He liked it,” joked the actor, who appeared at the start of the daily White House press briefing wearing Joe Biden’s favorite sunglasses.
The president “the most successful of all (his) life on the legislative level”
Obi-Wan Kenobi is another character in the saga of George Lucas, a legendary Jedi knight who guides the young Luke Skywalker in the discovery of his powers (the “Force”), until his fight against Darth Vader. The actor described the 81-year-old Democrat, campaigning for a second term, as “the most successful president of his entire life on the legislative level” and recounted being invited to the Oval Office where Joe Biden told him shown “all his photographs”.
Mark Hamill said he had a “really special time”, specifying that he had already been received at the White House in the past, but without entering the famous office. His visit to the White House took place on the eve of May 4 (“May the Fourth” in English), an obviously special day for Star Wars fans, which recalls the slogan of the heroes of the saga: “May the Force be with you”, “May the Force be with you”.
The White House regularly invites celebrities into the briefing room, but it is usually to discuss specific causes and commitments. The South Korean pop group BTS came to discuss anti-Asian racism, and actor Matthew McConaughey gun violence.
