Mark Hamill’s decadelong battle to secure Twitter account in his name finally pays off

He blew up the Death Star in an instant, but it took nearly a decade to get a verified Twitter account in his own name.

Mark Hamill, famous for playing “Star Wars” hero Luke Skywalker, celebrated securing the handle @MarkHamill over the weekend.

“After almost 10 years as @HamillHimself-@Twitter has finally allowed my account to use my own name,” he said Saturday. “Welcome to @MarkHamill & I hope there’s no confusion or nostalgia for the loss of alliteration or any questions about why I don’t also use my middle name: Richard.”
