On Thursday, November 29, police in Elizabethton, Tennessee arrested 21-year-old Luke Sky Walker for violating his probation. While it’s not Mark Hamill, the actor who plays Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise, who is in trouble here, the 67-year-old star had some thoughts about the events, which he shared on Twitter.
