Biden teams up with ‘Star Wars’ actor Mark Hamill for cringey ‘May the 4th be with you’ video, gets ripped online

He’s from a galaxy far, far away.

President Biden shared a Star Wars Day clip to X Saturday, featuring a celestial White House visitor — which was quickly ripped by social media users as lame.

“May the 4th be with you,” the Commander-in-Chief bellowed as he solemnly stared into the camera.

That’s when Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill swooped into the frame to deliver a pointed: “Always.”

The serious pair stood chest to chest, leaving just enough room between them for the portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt hanging on the Oval Office wall to stare down at their tomfoolery.

The five-second clip garnered 4.8 million views within hours of being posted — and racked up plenty of replies ridiculing the duo.

“A dementia patient and a homeless drunk,” comedian Tim Young taunted.

“The most hilarious thing is that Joe is in Delaware right now and has already forgotten he said this,” wrote conservative account Black Suit.

Another user wrote: “The national embarrassment continues.”

The video was shared just one day after Hamill, 72, made a surprise visit to the White House press room wearing a pair of aviator shades he said the president had gifted him.

He claimed he just ended a visit with Biden — presumably when they pair shot the awkward clip.

“He said, ‘You can call me Joe,’” the actor recounted.

“And I said, ‘Can I call you Joe-bi-Won Kenobi?‘ And he liked that.”

The actor has been an outspoken backer of both Biden and Israel amid widespread protests and riots on college campuses opposed to the president’s support for the Jewish state’s ongoing invasion of the Gaza Strip targeting the Hamas terror organization.

Hamill used his time at the White House presser to gush about Biden’s performance — as polls show the president with a dismal average approval rating of 40.1% as he seeks re-election in November, dragged down by what polls show is broad frustration over high inflation and illegal immigration.
