“I’m glad I have [the show] to take my mind off what’s going on,” the man who plays Luke Skywalker in “Star Wars” continued. “Because if you look at what’s being assembled for our government it’s like, yikes. It’s a who’s-who of really despicable people.”

Hamill was promoting his new gig hosting Comic-Con HQ show “Pop Culture Quest.”

The next Skywalker saga “Star Wars” film is slated for December 2017. Spinoff “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” zooms into theaters (yes, in less than 12 parsecs) on Dec. 16.

Iran's president and foreign minister die in helicopter crash at moment of high tensions in Mideast
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and the country’s foreign minister were found dead Monday hours after their helicopter crashed in fog, leaving the Islamic Republic without two key leaders as extraordinary tensions grip the wider Middle East. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say in the Shiite theocracy, quickly named a little-known vice president as caretaker and insisted the government was in control, but the deaths marked yet another blow to a country beset by pressures at home and abroad.
