Mark Hamill has taken a swipe at Ivanka Trump after she attempted to make a Star Wars
In a picture posted on Twitter and Instagram, the daughter of the US president was shown in evening dress with her husband, Jared Kushner, with one of her sons wearing a Storm Trooper costume.
“The Force is strong in my family,” she wrote in the caption.
Hamill, famous for his role as Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise, quote-tweeted the image and commented: “You misspelled ‘Fraud’” and added the hashtag #GoForceYourself.
The tweet has been shared more than 70,000 times and received more than 381,000 likes at the time of writing.
Hamill is a vocal critic of Trump and his administration, and has compared his leadership unfavourably with past presidents.
