President Biden and Actor Mark Hamill at the White House @BidensWins
President Joe Biden and actor Mark Hamill joined forces to honor the Star Wars Holiday. For more than 20 years, Star Wars fans and others have adopted May 4th as “May The Fourth Be With You” day. It is a pun on one of the most famous lines from the “Star Wars” movie franchise, which says, “May the Force be with you.”
In 2019, the California legislature made it official and voted May 4th as a Star Wars Holiday. Yesterday, “Star Wars” actor Mark Hamill, aka Luke Skywalker, visited the White House. Hamill is a supporter of Biden and calls himself a real-life defender of democracy. Biden and Hamill took photos and made some videos celebrating the Stars Wars Holiday. Many of those photos and videos are making the rounds on social media today.
We had a very good feeling about this.
