Kenny Baker, who was the 'soul of R2-D2' passed away at 81 years old last week. The world lost a tremendous talent, and it warms the heart to see so many of Baker's esteemed Star Wars co-stars and associates step forward to offer their condolences.

Hamill would've been fine if it weren't for the writing in the tweet, itself: "Haven't seen my chin since May '15, so #FarewellFacialFur & #ByeByeBeard (at least til #EpisodeIX)."

We've been seeing a lot of Last Jedi memes in the months since its release, which almost makes up for how "meh" we found the film to be.This particular example has been kicking around since the film's first trailer. The meme uses a quote of Luke uttering "I've seen this raw strength only once before" to mock characters that most people would be decidedly unafraid of.
And we have Mark Hamill starring for that Joker voiceover? Oh, heck yeah.

While other Star Wars actors are off crashing airplanes, Mark Hamill is taking a different road by bringing his nerd-cred to television. Tune your TV's to The CW on March 31st, because he's reprising his role as The Trickster on The Flash.
A copycat killer who goes by the name "The Trickster" (guest star Devon Graye) starts setting off bombs in Central City. In order to stop the villain, Barry (Grant Gustin) and Joe (Jesse L. Martin) meet with the original Trickster, a criminal mastermind named James Jesse (guest star Mark Hamill), who has been imprisoned for 20 years. Things quickly go from bad to worse when the Tricksters unite and take Henry (John Wesley Shipp) prisoner. Meanwhile, Iris (Candice Patton) asks Eddie (Rick Cosnett) for help with a case, and flashbacks show how Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh) came up with the idea for the particle accelerator.What the synopsis doesn't tell you, is that Hamill already played The Trickster, in the short-lived Flash series from 1990.
Let's hope they bring back the costume.
