Mark Hamill shuts down Ivanka Trump tweet referencing Star Wars: 'You misspelled Fraud'

Mark Hamill has taken a swipe at Ivanka Trump after she attempted to make a Star Wars reference in a tweet. 

In a picture posted on Twitter and Instagram, the daughter of the US president was shown in evening dress with her husband, Jared Kushner, with one of her sons wearing a Storm Trooper costume. 

“The Force is strong in my family,” she wrote in the caption. 

Hamill, famous for his role as Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise, quote-tweeted the image and commented: “You misspelled ‘Fraud’” and added the hashtag #GoForceYourself.

The tweet has been shared more than 70,000 times and received more than 381,000 likes at the time of writing. 

Hamill is a vocal critic of Trump and his administration, and has compared his leadership unfavourably with past presidents. 

He next stars in the forthcoming film Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalkerwhich is scheduled for release on 19 December 2019.
