Actor Mark Hamill of “Star Wars” fame is disgusted and enraged by the “Don’t Say Gay” law which recently went into effect in the state of Florida, and he made that clear on Twitter when he hilariously trolled right-wing commentator Ben Shapiro and walked away the clear victor in the social media war of words.
Newsweek reports that the back and forth between Hamill and Shapiro began on Tuesday:
On Tuesday, Hamill vocalized his support for Florida students who were protesting the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by retweeting a message from the Occupy Democrats account. He wrote the word “gay” 69 times in the tweet and included the rainbow emoji, an LGBTQ symbol, at the end. His tweet received 179,000 likes and 35,300 retweets.

That led Shapiro to respond to Hamill:
So I take it you wish to indoctrinate small children into gender and sexual ideology. Because that’s the only reason you’re parroting idiotic propaganda. https://t.co/DeWYQHGaYf

Hamill was more than equal to the challenge:
Hi Ben,
I LOVE mind-reading acts! Now guess which finger I’m holding up…

Game, set, and match Luke Skywalker.
Twitter gave the victory to Hamill, too:
It’s hysterical that freaking Ben Shapiro thinks he can take on Mark Hamill on Twitter. Dude, you brought a paper sword to a lightsaber fight

You’re officially my new hero for putting this cretinous bigoted garbage pile in his place. Thank you, Mark!#SkywalkingOnShapiro

Me as a 1 year old being held by my uncles partner who was fighting AIDS in 1988. The thing I learned was compassion and how my parents weren’t concerned one bit by him being gay or fighting AIDS. So what I learned from gay was compassion and how to treat others. He passed in ‘90 pic.twitter.com/upXHaUVpBS
