As the Likely All-Time Star Wars Box Office Failure <i>Mandalorian and Grogu</i> Is Set to Bomb on May 22, Lunatic Abortion-Thirsty Former Celebrity Mark Hamill Publicly Prays for the Death of the President

As the Likely All-Time Star Wars Box Office Failure Mandalorian and Grogu Is Set to Bomb on May 22, Lunatic Abortion-Thirsty Former Celebrity Mark Hamill Publicly Prays for the Death of the President

As always: the subhed is Hollywood: Shit or Garbage?

Mark Hamill appeared in the TV show the film is based on -- well, he didn't "appear," a de-aged CGI double of him "appeared," one that doesn't look like a wad of chewed gum covered in a homeless man's beard-hairs -- and it's very likely this assassination-wishing communist death-cultist will appear in the Disney Groomer Organization's new disaster.

They calculated that this would stoke audience interest.

So now this lunatic does this, and the same Groomer corporation who fired and defamed Gina Carano for saying her pronouns were "beep/boop" stands behind their assassination prepper.

Mark Hamill knows exactly what he's doing.
If you read the comments in the Bluesky thread, it's inspiring many mentally ill individuals to fantasize about this scenario--and even call for it.
I've even had leftists calling for it in my thread this morning. Sick--and in some cases, potentially criminal. Our country is in real trouble.

🚨 NOW: The White House is EVISCERATING deranged Mark Hamill for openly egging on the death of President Trump

The SAME Mark Hamill that Barack Hussein Obama just welcomed to his trash can library in Chicago

THEY WANT 47 TO BE KlLLED.

Barack Obama, who ordered the mass-prosecution of his political opponent, his staff, and their lawyers, and who now (as ever) pals around with a terrorist, expresses his disappointment that modern Republicans don't "respect the rule of law" like he did.

Obama: "I'm worried about the Republican Party.. I'd love a loyal opposition. I'd love a Republican Party that was conservative in some ways, believed in rule of law and judicial independence and science, and wasn't constantly tapping into our worst impulses." pic.twitter.com/UCV93fUxyA

John Kass asks the question many of us have been asking ourselves: What if Republicans began agitating for the murder of Barack Obama like Barack Obama's cultists agitate for the murder of Trump?

The Democrats responded to the assassination attempts by scoffing, smirking, laughing, protected and supported by legacy corporate media, and accusing Trump of staging the attempts on his own life.
But none dared stand up to the rabid left that has tried to take Trump's life and threatened the lives of other Republicans, from Republicans in Congress shot by an angry leftist at a baseball practice, to conservatives on the Supreme Court. And I wondered:
What would happen if Obama's life had been repeatedly threatened with assassins failing three times in a matter of months and Republicans called Obama a fascist What if conservatives appear on late night TV talk shows to mock Michelle Obama the way ABC's Jimmy Kimmel tastelessly mocked First Lady Melania Trump, and dared say Michelle was "glowing like an expectant widow?" How long would he have a show?
Don't think of it as some parlor game. Think of it happening right now, for real.
Would Kimmel keep his $16 million salary and perks if he mocked Michelle? Would the blue cities burn at the hands of angry blacks as the cities burned during the Democrat "Summer of Love in 2020 when the left turned the violent drug-addicted thug George Floyd into a saint?
The broken legacy media won't address this and or dare challenge their rabid leftist subscriber base. I don't see the Chicago Tribune and the rest of Chicago media demanding that Illinois Gov. J.B Pritzker shut his Ozempically skinny lips and insist he stop inciting assassination by repeatedly screaming lies that Trump is a Nazi and Fascist?
I'm sure you can outline the issue. Three assassination attempts and they will continue because the hard left demands it.

These questions are no longer hypothetical, like they used to be.

We're tired of playing by different rules.

If the real rules supported by the Democrat-Media Complex say that it is understandable and even noble to agitate a movement's more excitable members to kill people the movement doesn't like, the countdown to the Republican embrace of this rule is officially ticking down.

John Kass, continued:

As Jimmy Kimmel basks in all the attention he's getting, has anyone had the good manners to think of Tuffy Gessling?
You've forgotten Tuffy?
He's the Missouri rodeo clown banned for life for mocking Obama, daring to ask the crowd if they wanted to see another clown in an Obama mask "get run down" by a bull.
Gesseling was forced to march the walk of shame and he was banned. FOR LIFE. And he was a real clown not some buffo from Chicago who had the crooked influence peddler Tony Rezko buy him a Chicago dreamhouse while presenting publicly as some kind of virtuous political reformer.
And the great Hank Williams Jr. had an iconic song, one of my favorites, titled Are you ready for some football? It was deleted from Monday Night Football." He called Obama some kind of Hitler. And apparently only white male Republicans can be called the 'h' word, but Obama may never be mocked that way. Never, ever.
But ESPN/ABC currently defends Kimmel for his tasteless attacks on The First Lay Melania Trump and the Trump family.

15 I think this is the logical end result of epistemic closure.

The left has built such an impregnable bubble that they cannot imagine any other viewpoint but their own.

In the 90s, the ration of liberal to conservative professors on campus was about 3 to 1.

Massively lopsided, but with 1/4 of the professorate being conservative, liberals at least were exposed to conservative ideas and had to understand there was a debate.

The ratio is now 9 to 1 and many areas are 100 to 0. The people most harmed by this are the liberals, ironically. They don't realize that they are a minority and start pushing money-losing idea like "the future is female!".

As satisfying as that step will be, it isn't going to make any difference.

The left is a hivemind, and every single one of them is expendable to the cause.

And they don't have any more sense of self preservation (insofar as understanding consequences goes) than Hamas or the (current) leadership of Iran.

No. He doesn't. He's just a sad, angry, mentally ill decrepit leftist fucksack who is still butthurt that his career was shit even after starring in three of the biggest movies of the 70s and early 80s.

Harrison Ford went on to be one of the biggest stars of the next 20 years.

Carrie Fischer would have had a much bigger career, but she couldn't keep off the drugs.

Hell, even Billy Dee in a small part became the epitome of cool and female attraction in the 1980s. Those Colt 45 commercials? Genius.

As of May 2026, reports are unconfirmed, but it is heavily rumored that Elliot Page is cast to play the ghost of Achilles in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. While Page is confirmed to have joined the film's cast, specific character details remain undisclosed.

Key Details on the Rumor
The Role: The rumor suggests Page will appear as the "ghost of Achilles" (or a shade) rather than the living warrior from The Iliad, fitting the narrative of The Odyssey where Odysseus encounters dead heroes.

I choose to believe it. TBF, there's a difference between Achilles, and the ghost of Achilles.

156 .But Mark Hamill? His career took a yuge shit. He's still not over it. His endless TDS and ranting screams "look at me, I'm still here, pay attention to me!"

He was involved in a car accident after Star Wars in 1977. Scarred his face pretty bad. Lost his looks I guess. I still cannot stand him but Hollywood did not want banged up starlets.

Pitt was a good fit in that he was good looking, big enough for the role, and while he has gotten better at acting he was good enough at the time.

Ari Shaffir in his recent spot on Joe Rogan pointed out that when he had a comedy series he got told he had to go for diversity, and then the Suits handed him a short list of acceptable minorities the Suits knew so he could hire them.
Nolan might be in the same predicament without Shaffir's lack of concern over saying things like "f___ off"

There was some discussion on here a while back about this phenomenon, and IIRC it's because modern movies are mixed for their eventual release to home audiences, not for theater viewing. Most people don't have true home theaters with big side channel speakers, so they boost everything that is mapped to those to make it audible at home, thus when in a theater that has a proper sound system those channels completely overwhelm everything else.
