Mark Hamill has made a hilarious response video to an angry TikToker. The 69-year-old Star Wars celebrity is one of the more active celebrities on social media for his age, and is known for posting funny set photos and memes frequently on his Instagram and Twitter accounts. However, Hamill recently joined TikTok, and is already dealing with haters, but in the classic Mark Hamill fashion.
Hamill is also more active on social media than many of his Star Wars co-stars. Oftentimes, he uses his platforms to respond to fan theories about Star Wars, typically by quoting a tweet or reposting a photo and adding his own one-liner opinion on the matter. His sassy social media presence attracts fans of all ages, so when he posted his first TikTok in mid-May - a video of his dog hilariously pushing his hand away from his computer every time he tried to start typing - his page immediately exploded in popularity. Unfortunately, while Hamill's new TikTok account is exciting to many Star Wars fans, it is frustrating to others.
A TikTok user by the name of @dreadpiratedad had a lot to say about Hamill's new TikTok fame. In the video, he rants about how Hamill "drops one video, gets three million hits, and half a million followers in a day," and refers to the Star Wars star as "this ‘actor’ [who] shows up from this old ass movie." Hamill responded by posting this video onto his own TikTok account, attaching his response afterwards. He thanks @dreadpiratedad for his "wonderfully warm welcome" and shares how happy he is to meet "another satisfied customer." Check out the angry TikTok rant and Hamill's response, below:
Though complete with the classic Hamill attitude, the trolling response on TikTok was made all in good fun. It was even revealed in two separate follow-up videos from the "angry" creator @dreadpiratedad that he is actually a big Star Wars fan. In the first video, he reacted to Hamill's TikTok and spat water out of a Star Wars mug. In a second video, he more explicitly explained that he is a big fan of Hamill, and therefore, was not actually full of rage over some 'actor' having it easy in the TikTok world.
Hamill's TikTok, though clearly not his preferred social media platform, is a very exciting new development for Star Wars fans. Hopefully, Hamill starts using the platform to make more hilarious responses to Star Wars theories and rants, just like he does on Instagram and Twitter. Regardless of if he continues to use the platform or not, it is definitely worth giving him a follow.
