If you thought that Yoda was the only Star Wars alumnus to offer good advice, you’d be very wrong.
Ahead of International Women’s Day, Mark Hamill bestowed some life advice on a young girl who lived in fear, not of stormtroopers, but of the boys in her class making fun of her for showing off her love for the fantasy franchise.
A Twitter user named N.J. Simmonds posted on the social media site, saying, “My 7-year-old daughter is crying in bed right now because she wants to wear her Star Wars t-shirt to school but is scared her classmates will laugh because she likes ‘boy stuff. I’m so sad/angry for her. Please RT and comment so I can show her how awesome girl #StarWars fans are.”
Now, he may not be a female fan, but surely you don’t get a better endorsement than Luke Skywalker himself!
The 66-year-old actor responded by sending a GIF of his character brushing off his shoulder, and said, “Just tell her to feel free to use this gesture if her classmates give her any grief. ‘Boy stuff’? PLEASE! The Force is, & always will be strong with females here on Earth & in galaxies far, far away.”
As we said, Yoda may want to hand over that guru title.
Just tell her to feel free to use this gesture if her classmates give her any grief. "Boy stuff"? PLEASE! The Force is, & always will be strong with females here on Earth & in galaxies far, far away.
