  2. I actually like Mark Hamill and hate trump but STFU already. This is so so so lame.

  9. Man, Luke almost went into exile for a second time. Though truth be told, I don’t/wouldn’t blame him.

  10. So tired of hearing stories about over privileged people being able to leave the U.S. Are we supposed to empathize? Like this is so tone deaf

  11. Not news. I’m a nobody getting two foreign visas for my family. So is my brother. So is my neighbor.

  14. Please do. To a galaxy far, far away. There’s a reason the actor who played the sidekick, Han Solo, became one of the biggest movie stars of all time and you didn’t, Mark, and it’s called talent. Bye.

  16. In other news, I decided not to move to the US after Trump won. 🤣

  18. Agree, not news, but I do appreciate that though he has the option, he chose not to, unlike Rosie. Though to be fair, shit would be a lot worse for her if things continue down this path than for Mark.

  19. Please, I beg all of you. Read the article and full quote. It does wonders to the human mind

    Edit: read the full headline actually because OP cut off the second half lmao

  20. If I were rich and didn’t have to work, I’d be somewhere in Scandinavia right now

  22. Yay thanks for not abandoning us in our time of need. Now if only Jedi’s were real.

  23. If I could just up and move to another country ,and not worry about the cost or any of the details- I would have been gone long ago….

  24. Me too Mark, me too.. then I realized I’m poor.

  26. If I could afford to, I would too. At his age, he’d have to uproot an entire life. A bunch of comments here are just stupid and not thinking in someone else’s shoes.

    Sure he can “afford” to (compared to them), none of these comments are thinking ahead though.

  28. Well I’m glad he didn’t. We need people to stay to help the rest of us fight.

  29. You and me both, Mark. I don’t have the financial resources and luxury to leave though. I encourage everyone who does have those resources to leave and forget about us here. We’re the wounded on the battlefield who are just dead weight for those financially healthy enough to find betterment elsewhere.

  30. I don’t blame anyone who wants to leave America. The government is corrupt and half the population support this corruption as long as Trump fulfills their racist fantasies.

  32. I almost left too. Then I remembered I am broke and have student loan debts that will follow me to the grave.

  33. Acting on *”I’m surprised you would allow him to force you out of your own country.”* (which in this case means: NOT leaving), is actually a display of strength.

    … but for some people even changing one’s mind based on good arguments seems to qualify as weakness …

  35. Just like he abandoned everyone when Snoke took power

  36. Im too poor to even consider that as an option. Must be nice to be in the 1%

  38. That’s too bad. He had a real chance to find happiness elsewhere and like all the others he would rather stay where he’s miserable and blame someone else for his misery.

  40. Why should I care if he leaves? He’s not coming to my weekend barbecue. It makes no difference if he’s in Los Angeles or Nairobi.
