Star Wars‘ original superstar Mark Hamill is Luke Skywalker — has been since 1977. He’s the real thing, the authentic original. The generous-spirited Hamill is on a campaign to protect Star Wars fans from being duped by something not genuine when it comes to the lucrative autograph market. As expected the latest Star Wars mania has invited thieves and forgers into the galaxy no longer far away but on eBay and elsewhere online. As a result, many avid Star Wars fans are buying fake autographs.
Because I owe it to all true fans to protect them from being victimized by dishonest dealers! #FightFraud #FansRule https://t.co/aXk6zBMCAs

So if you’re thinking of buying a Hamill autograph just tweet it to him. He might tell you a good story about it in the process of authenticating that it’s real. Or as he says in a recent tweet, maybe he’ll just LIKE the ones that are genuine without the “boring stories.” Star Wars fans say, no! Luke Skywalker, please bore us with tweets about our autograph. But story or just a Like, the point is you can get your Skywalker signature authenticated by Hamill himself on Twitter, for free.
Both REAL. Maybe I’ll just “like” the real ones rather than boring everyone w/ endless tweets over authenticity, OK? https://t.co/lstgojuJVq — Mark Hamill (@HamillHimself) December 28, 2015
So sorry to tell you it’s not just a FAKE, but a horrible FAKE at that! #BeatTheDealers #FansRule https://t.co/ygBaPtr4b6
