When it comes to the age-old Star Wars question of "who shot first," Mark Hamill adds his own comedic spin by resurrecting an old Bernie Sanders joke.
It's the largest Star Wars discussion, and Mark Hamill has added the Bernie Sanders meme.
Those who saw the first Star Wars film are clearly enamored with the galaxy far, far away, as seen by their interactions with each other.
Debates among Star Wars fans have always had a heart as burning as Mustafar's lava behind them, from social media to funny cosplay.
As the franchise's fan base grows more and more fervent with each new film, fresh controversies develop.
Han Solo against Greedo at the Cantina at Mos Eisley has been the most long-running and fierce dispute among Star Wars fans, though.
Since the 1977 debut of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, fans have wondered if Greedo was shot first by the smuggler or his antagonist in the frenzied blaster exchange.
Despite the fact that Han was the only one who survived, the filth from a blaster bolt is still on the wall behind him, making it impossible to determine who fired the trigger first.
If you've ever wondered whose character fired the initial shot, you've been going back and forth for decades now.

It's now Luke Skywalker's turn to put his own amusing twist to the argument.
Bringing a famous meme from 2021 back to life, actor Mark Hamill took to Twitter to post a fan-made edit of Senator Bernie Sanders sitting at the same table as Han and Greedo.
Adding a final flourish, the actor jots down, "Turns out Bernie shot first," tying everything together with the legendary Star Wars dispute.

To Hamill's credit, he has never shied away from weighing in on Star Wars arguments and speculations, so his contribution is all the more valuable.
When it comes to Harrison Ford's Han Solo, the actor has provided fans with a slew of fascinating tales.
This latest contribution to the Han vs. Greedo Star Wars argument is no exception, thanks to Hamill and Ford's lively connection, which has allowed him to unleash his real humorous personality whenever Ford is involved.
Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill continues to add a heart to jokes like these, proving that he isn't too far removed from the character he portrays.
The heart of Star Wars is a passionate and funny one like Hamill's, which the franchise has proven itself through references and quips to other galaxy-spanning events.
Moments like these enhance the Star Wars fandom, encouraging people to take a step back and tackle themes like this with a new and lighthearted perspective so many years after the publication of A New Hope.
Sanders will not be the winner of the debate, but Hamill's Star Wars joke will stand out among the many other Star Wars gags he has provided to audiences over the years.
