Mark Hamill, famously recognized as Luke Skywalker from the Star Wars saga, humorously commented on Twitter about Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) following an incident at a “Beetlejuice” Broadway show. Reports surfaced that Boebert was removed from the theater at intermission due to disruptive behavior, specifically for capturing photos and videos after being requested to stop.
Reacting to the incident, Hamill seized the opportunity to tease the congresswoman, tweeting, “Just heard #LaurenBoebert got kicked out of #BeetlejuiceBroadway for taking flash photos. I’m not surprised-she’s such a…Bright Light! #BroadwayRules,” complete with a winking emoji. The quip caught fire online, drawing numerous likes and shares, showcasing Hamill’s knack for intertwining humor with current events.
While Boebert has yet to make any public comments regarding Hamill’s post or her reported ejection from the show, this isn’t her first controversy linked to Broadway. Previously, in 2019, she faced backlash for carrying a firearm to a “Hamilton” show in Washington, D.C.
Hamill remains a vocal presence online, often sharing his insights on a range of topics from politics to entertainment. His large following on Twitter ensures his voice and humor continue to resonate with a broad audience, reflecting his ongoing engagement with both fans and current affairs.
