Mark Hamill had a bad feeling about this darkly humorous Star Wars joke
It was National Toast Day recently, in celebration of what is clearly a treasured food item. Imagine no cheese, no beans, no marmalade on toast!
Film critic Marshall Julius celebrated with a little dark humour at the expense of Luke Skywalker‘s doomed Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru.

The pair were killed by stormtroopers who turned up in search of C-3PO and R2-D2, before their farm was set alight, but the joke still got quite a few (guilty) laughs.

Luke Skywalker himself – the excellent Mark Hamill – took the prize for the best reaction.

@DikemanDave wasn’t buying it.
Cmon. It never bothered you. This picture was taken literally an hour or so after Owen and Beru were torched. pic.twitter.com/rSIjmhcLv4
