"Star Wars" movie followers loved Mark Hamill in his role as Luke Skywalker. Now, his namesake was arrested for allegedly stealing traffic signs, according to a report by News Channel 11 wjhl. Police from Elizabethton arrested the 21-year-old man from Johnson City, Tennessee. Later, actor Mark Hamill retweeted the story which was recycled by Fox News. He captioned the retweet with, "The real crime here is Mr. & Mrs. Walker saddling this poor guy with that name in the first place. #MisbegottenMoniker #AlsoTooShortForAStormtrooper." Many people reacted to the report on Twitter. Here are five of the funny ones.
'Star Wars' - The Jedi you don't seek
This short meme was captioned with, "This is not the Jedi you seek." It's probably a take on Obi-Wan Kenobi's 'droids' in Stormtroopers, Star Wars Episode IV .
This is not the Jedi you seek.... 🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/Y9ElbREe78

The dead end comment
This Twitter user responded to Mark Hamill's post, noting that Luke Sky Walker was stealing road signs which could mean he was now at a "dead end."
He was caught stealing road signs? Looks like he's now at a dead end!😂

The Force is not with you
Of course, it only remained a matter of time before someone mentioned the Force not being with you.

The Police Force is with you
On the same line of thought about 'The Force,' this tweet noted the only force with him was the "Police Force."
Nope: "The Force was not with a man named Luke Sky Walker when he was arrested..."

Yep: "The only 'force' with a Tennessee man named Luke Sky Walker was the police force when he was arrested..."
Darth Vader connection
Darth Vader of course, is liable to be very irritated. Many of the comments noted that. This was one of the best.
His (real) father Mr Vader has declined to comment and has asked for privacy in this difficult time #StarWars #LukeSkywalker #DarthVader #maytheforcebewithyou
