Star Wars Legend Comments On Controversial Amy Schumer GQ Shoot

Mark Hamill weighs in.

More Amy Schumer Amy Schumer Profile

Just days after Lucasfilm and Disney denounced US comedian Amy Schumer's "inappropriate" GQ photo shoot, another Star Wars alumni and legend of the film franchise has weighed in on the matter. 

Mark Hamill who played Luke Skywalker in the mega-famous sci fi films throughout the '70s and '80s, took to his Twitter account to address his thoughts, which were that he loved the shoot.

Hamill went so far as to joke that the franchise would "be so lucky" to have Schumer feature in the upcoming Star Wars film, which he himself will star in. Check out his tweet below: 

If you get the stamp of approval from Luke freakin' Skywalker, then you're basically in the clear.
