"The thing is, I thought about this, because we're such a divided country right now, and I'm very forthcoming on my social media because I feel like its a combination of a diary, a chat room, electronic fan-mail in a way... and I just like to express myself." "In public, I'm in the escapism business. I want everyone to enjoy the film, regardless of their political persuasion, and I'm not trying to convince anybody. I think if they think that that is someone who is right for the job, that is their right. I disagree, is all." "Some of the responses I get, Oh my God, scorching hate-tweets, I mean, I don't have tell you, they're really brutal. But what I love is, 99% of them, you look and they'll say "You're a washed up, old horrible actor, and you'll never be as popular as Harrison Ford." And then you'll look at the note that says 'Follows You'. It makes me- are you kidding me? Wouldn't it be easier just to go 'Click!' [and unfollow me]?" "That's the reason I feel free to express myself on Twitter, because it is so easy to ignore me, or unfollow me. But if you get on television and you start proselytizing, thats when it gets annoying. And I love people who say "What gives you the right to give your opinion just because you're an actor?". Well, I'm a voter, I don't think anybody should be restricted. Whether you're a teacher or a librarian or a butcher, a baker or a candle-stick maker, it just doesn't really make much sense." "And I say to people, when they ask if I think I'm so important? No, I'm just another crank on the internet. When I see a really brutal hate tweet, I like it, just to befuddle and annoy them." Previously, Hamill had taken to reading out some of Trump's tweets in the voice of The Joker - which he had provided for The Animated Series as well as the Arkham City video games series - but where did the inspiration for that come from? Clip via Tech Insider "Basically, what happened was I've been playing The Joker for so long, that I realised [that I recognised] truly demented thinking when I see it, and I thought "Oh, this dialogue is too rich!" I mean, when he attacked [Mayor Of London] Sadiq Khan, are you kidding me? Two days after a terrorist attack!" And then... it happened. Hamill broke out the voice: "Oh, it's got to be The Joker!" And just like that, he's back to Hamill: "So I'm just having some fun. I have my fun." Star Wars: The Last Jedi arrives in cinemas on Friday 15 December.
