Mark Hamill is a very busy guy these days! The actor best known for playing Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise recently visited Late Night with Seth Meyers to promote the second season of History Channel’s Knightfall, and spoke about the fun he has trolling fans on Twitter. The actor has become known for teasing his social media audience, and apparently doesn’t care what Disney has to say about it. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hamill told Meyers as much during his visit this week.

“[Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker] comes out in December so I only have eight months of trolling left,” Hamill joked. “I love to tease the fans online,” he added. “It drives them crazy. I’m sure Disney is not happy about it, but what are they gonna do, fire me? It’s too late.”
Hamill added, “How can you not have fun with it though? People say what was it like doing those movies, and we just laughed all day long.”
The actor shared the THR article on Twitter earlier today with a hilarious caption.
