Mark Hamill Pretended to Have Dressed Up as Darth Donald Trump at Comic-Con
If you were at Comic-Con this weekend, you may have come across a cosplayer in an orange Darth Vader mask with a Donald Trump wig glued to it and a “Make The Death Star Great Again” polo shirt. It’s pretty hilarious. He even had an orange golf club.
Well, for a while the internet believed that Orange Vader was none other than Mark Hamill, the one and only voice of The Joker in Batman: The Animated Series. I think he was in some space movie, too. The actor even confirmed the rumor on Twitter.

But it wasn’t actually him, it was a cosplayer named James Cherry.

Hamill spent the entire weekend hinting that he may or may not be at Comic-Con.
More photographic proof I'm actually here at #SDCC if you just ignore the time-stamp.#ComicConCon https://t.co/speXgowzT3

Would I lie about being in disguise at #SDCC? Sorry- I misspoke & said I "would" instead of "wouldn't" FUN FACT: I'M HERE RIGHT NOW!! Here are the 4 masks I'll be wearing (1 for each day) so be on HIGH ALERT & please say hello when you see me!👍😜 #MaskedMark pic.twitter.com/QVfZ34fIM0

There's an unsubstantiated rumor I'm at #SDCC right now wearing a mask to avoid being recognized (I'm not)-But if I really WAS there in disguise, would I lie about it to fool people-secretly talk to fans-attend panels & have fun? (I would) #ComicConCon pic.twitter.com/8vxvFsQg48

But it seems like Mark spent Comic-Con at home this year. I can’t actually blame him for it, those crowds can be rough.
Look on the bright side, though; you may not have gotten a picture with Mark Hamill in a mask, but you did get a picture with a guy in a Donald Trump Darth Vader costume, and that’s pretty cool, too.
