Mark Hamill Torched His Last Shred of Credibility With Reaction Michelle and Barack at the Obama Presidential Center

The White House branded Mark Hamill a threat to the president's life six weeks ago.

Now he's standing in a Chicago crowd cheering for Barack and Michelle Obama.

What he said at that ceremony will follow him for the rest of his career.

His Words at the Obama Center

The Obama Presidential Center opened in Chicago's Jackson Park on June 19 – timed deliberately to Juneteenth – and Hamill was right there in the crowd with his wife, cheering it all on.

He posted on Bluesky that listening to the Obamas was "uplifting, inspirational and exhilarating."

He called it "a reminder of another, better time when leaders spoke to our better angels."

He called Barack and Michelle Obama "master orators."

Translation: anything is better than Trump.

Michelle Obama's speech gave him plenty to work with.

She stood at the podium and listed her husband's accomplishments – including keeping America "safe from Ebola" and "winning a peace prize."

The same Barack Obama who oversaw eight years of stagnant wages, open borders, and an economy so weak it handed Trump the White House.

That's the "better time" Hamill is pining for.

The Post He Wants You to Forget

Six weeks before the Obama Center celebration, Hamill posted an AI-generated image on Bluesky showing President Trump lying in a shallow grave.

The headstone read "Donald J. Trump 1946–2024."

The caption said "If Only."

The White House called him "one sick individual" and stated directly that this kind of rhetoric had already inspired three assassination attempts against the president.

Hamill deleted the post within hours and issued a clarification – claiming he was "wishing him the opposite of dead."

Nobody bought it.

The post appeared just days after shots were fired near the White House Correspondents' Dinner security perimeter.

It wasn't his first rodeo.

After the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt in July 2024 – where a bullet grazed Trump's ear and killed supporter Corey Comperatore – Hamill mocked Trump's "ludicrously oversized ear bandage."

A man died protecting his family.

Hamill made it a punchline.

This Is a Pattern, Not a Personality Quirk

He's visited Biden at the White House.

He starred in Star Wars–themed promotional videos for the Obama Foundation – including one released just weeks before posting the grave image.

He publicly celebrated Biden's record as "unmatched by any president in our lifetime."

This is a man once beloved by tens of millions for playing Luke Skywalker – a hero, a symbol of good over evil – who has spent the back half of his career burning every last bit of that goodwill on partisan politics.

The conservative backlash after the grave post triggered boycott calls against Disney's The Mandalorian and Grogu, even though Hamill isn't in it.

That's how radioactive he's become.

Disney Is Paying for This

Disney is sitting on a Star Wars franchise worth billions.

Their most iconic living cast member just stood in a Chicago crowd alongside Tom Hanks, Stephen Colbert, and Nancy Pelosi to celebrate Barack Obama – six weeks after the White House called him a threat to the president's safety.

Disney can't distance itself from any of it – because Hamill is Star Wars, whether he's on the call sheet or not.

The conservative audience that built that franchise knows exactly what he thinks of them.

And Hollywood still hasn't figured out why ticket sales keep disappointing.
