<p>Actor Mark Hamill crashed Friday&#8217;s White House press briefing — the day before Star Wars Day (May the Fourth) — and instead of taking questions about the popular Sci-Fi/Fantasy franchise, all he wanted to do was gush about President Joe Biden.</p>
<p>Hamill, who played the role of Jedi Luke Skywalker in George Lucas&#8217; original trilogy, joined White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre at the lectern and told reporters how happy he had been to meet the president&#8217;s staff.</p>
<p>He opened with a joke, saying that when Biden had invited the actor to call him &#8220;Joe,&#8221; he&#8217;d asked whether he could call him &#8220;Joe-Bi-Wan-Kenobi.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I was honored to be asked to come to the White House to meet the president, the most legislatively successful president in my lifetime,&#8221; Hamill began, listing off a series of legislative actions that he counted as Biden wins. &#8220;And you know, I don&#8217;t have to go through the list of bipartisan infrastructure law, the PACT Act, the Chips Act, all of that inflation — 15 million jobs.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Look, it&#8217;s all good,&#8221; Hamill continued, praising Biden&#8217;s staff and raving about how much work the president did day-to-day. &#8220;I mean, I was really thrilled to meet the entire staff because, you know, it&#8217;s not just one person. It&#8217;s like a composite endeavor and all these people, my goodness, you know, I mean, I have no idea — I — I had no idea. Just what went into what is on his plate on a daily basis.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So, that&#8217;s pretty much it. I&#8217;m open to questions, although no Star Wars questions, please,&#8221; Hamill concluded. &#8220;But I want to say once again how grateful I am, and it just shows you that just one person can be so influential and so positive in our lives and, again thank you so much. And @PeterBakerNYT, I loved your book.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Hamill was born in 1951,&#8221; Mike Cote pointed out in an X post. &#8220;Even for his personal politics, Biden isn&#8217;t remotely close to the most legislatively successful president of his lifetime. LBJ, anyone? Very sad to see a Jedi turn into a Sith before our eyes.&#8221;</p>
