Fans of Hamill (and critics of the Trump family) were quick to praise the actor's clever response. Some even urged users to get #GoForceYourself trending on Twitter.
I think this may be my favorite tweet of all time.

Enemies: Bobba Fett, Bossk, Emperor Palpatine, General Hux, Grand Moff Tarkin, Jabba the Hut, Kylo Ren, Darth Vader... And the Trumps.
When Luke Skywalker is against you... you have to accept the fact that you totally suck.
Let’s get #GoForceYourself trending.

But others criticized the actor as picking on Trump's young child, a "Star Wars" fan who isn't responsible for his family's political beliefs.
That kid goes to school, maybe has a SW notebook

"Ha!" says the class bully, "YOU can't have Star Wars because Mark Hamill HATES YOU! Look what mommy showed me."
Kid bursts into tears
Still cries about it at night sometimes, when no one is around
You're better than this, Mark
Goddamn, Mr. Hamill. A kid in a Star Wars costume isn't political. People are allowed to like Star Wars.

Nice. Picking on a kid. High class.
I take it back what I said about the last Jedi. Seems Luke is the type to cut down kids over things their family did.

Representatives for Hamill and Trump didn't immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.
Hamill has previously been outspoken in his support of the "Star Wars" franchise, whether that's supporting a costar facing online harassment or pushing back on claims that his character died a virgin.
