Mark Hamill went viral by tweeting his own name – deliberately
Twitter would be a much poorer place without Mark Hamill – and not just because we all enjoyed watching him dunk on Donald Trump for four years.
He’s had several viral tweets – some even about the virus – including these:

An actor named Lauren – @LozzaBean12 – tweeted a suspicion.
@HamillHimself you could just tweet 'Mark Hamill' and you'd get thousands of likes.

Mark Hamill duly put the theory to the test.

At the time of writing, this is the state of play.
Lauren wasn’t wrong.
Ken Olin decided to test another possibility …
Will that work for anyone?
Here goes:

With the blessing of the man himself.

Mr Hamill may never be in another film that has its own day, but he could very well follow in the footsteps of Ed Balls and get one of his own. Just point us in the direction of the petition.
