“Star Wars” actor Mark Hamill gave first lady Melania Trump a helping hand in reinventing her “Be Best” campaign for children’s wellbeing on Tuesday.

Hamill wasn’t the first to post the quip, but his tweet clearly resonated with fans and immediately went viral:

Trump, however, played down the backlash.
