Mark Hamill is at it again, using any old opportunity to crack a joke about what will/might/won't happen in Star Wars: Episode IX.
This time around, the Luke Skywalker actor has reacted to the announcement of this year's Oscar nominations (why yes, you can view the entire list right here) and couldn't help but wind fans up by linking it to the ongoing sci-fi saga.
"Congratulations Adam on your well-deserved #Oscars nomination for #BlacKkKlansman," he wrote, "playing a good man only pretending to be evil! #justsayin."
In Star Wars: The Last Jedi, it looked like Kylo (also known as Ben Solo) was having a 'will he, won't he' moment as he struggled with the call of the light, but eventually killed off his master and fully embraced the darkness as leader of the First Order. Then he proceeded to completely lose all of their respect, so well done him.
It's not the first time Hamill has gleefully teased people over the new film, or its title.
What a Joker, eh? Oh wait...
