Mark Hamill says Darth Vader better than Trump: 'He saw the error of his ways'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Actor Mark Hamill, best known for portraying Luke Skywalker in "Star Wars," says the franchise's iconic villain Darth Vader is not as bad as real-life figures including President Trump and former Vice President Dick Cheney.

The left-leaning actor said Vader differed from modern-day Republicans because he eventually repented for his deeds.

“Listen, I really get upset then when people compare [Trump] or even Dick Cheney to Darth Vader because Darth Vader repented,” Hamill said on a podcast Tuesday hosted by The Washington Post. “He saw the error of his ways. I don’t see either one of them doing that."

Cheney faced comparisons to Vader from critics during the Iraq War.

5. Loved 'Corvette Summer'.

If nothing else, the custom Stingray, with right-hand-steering, was super cool.

Early appearance by Annie Potts, too...

3. Um, if we're comparing Trump to fictional characters, I think the Grinch is more apropos

Shutting down the government days before Xmas and all.

4. Yes but even the Grinch saw the error of his ways in the end.

6. last i checked, Darth Vader is still FICTION

but if we're going to make the comparison anyway, i think there's a real difference in willingness to go hands-on to get things done. both Cheney and Trump prefer to work their disastrous evil through others, like Sidious or Tarkin. Vader was much more of a DIY sithlord.
