Iconic Captain Kirk actor Willian Shatner hilariously mocked fellow actor Mark Hamill after the Star Wars star pandered to the woke left by claiming his Luke Skywalker character is gay.
Many Star Wars fans have been assailing Disney for jamming woke leftism into the film franchise. And one of the things that have upset many fans was the retroactive alteration of a character named Mara Jade.
Shatner recently addressed that situation.
“For those SWs fans who are trying to tell me Disney ruined everything: I assume you are referring to Mara Jade?” Shatner wrote on X.

Hamill actually ruined it for you when he revealed Luke was gay. 👇🏻 Mara, being struck from SWs Canon, was part of her annulment agreement from the Force. 😑 pic.twitter.com/lnQWpFRBN8— William Shatner (@WilliamShatner) February 13, 2025
Jade was married to Luke Skywalker on the shows “Expanded Universe,” but later George Lucas decided that Luke was a permanent bachelor. Ergo, Jade was erased from the show. But Shatner pointed out that Hamill made matters worse by saying Luke is gay!
“Hamill actually ruined it for you when he revealed Luke was gay. Mara, being struck from SWs Canon, was part of her annulment agreement from the Force,” Shatner said.
Several years ago, Hamill had said, “I’d say it is meant to be interpreted by the viewer. If you think Luke is gay, of course he is. You should not be ashamed of it. Judge Luke by his character, not by who he loves.”
