Mark Hamill, renowned for portraying Luke Skywalker, is now taking on another mission: advocating for mask-wearing to combat COVID-19. The actor lends his voice to a new children’s book titled “Will You Wear A Mask? I Ask,” crafted by Tom Ruegger. The book aims to address the misconceptions of anti-maskers while urging them to take the pandemic seriously.
The story features two whimsical creatures who echo the various conspiracy theories and falsehoods surrounding the virus, which has tragically claimed over 486,000 lives in the U.S., according to Johns Hopkins University data. Hamill introduced the project on social media, playfully inviting audiences to hear the “lamest excuses” for mask refusal, and emphasizing that proceeds will benefit World Central Kitchen, a charity dedicated to feeding those in need.
In the narrative, one character, an anti-masker clad in a red baseball cap, shares outrageous justifications for avoiding masks: “The COVID virus is a hoax/ Except for sickly old folks/ I’m immune!/ I read on Reddit!/ I’m healthy so I just can’t get it.” These sentiments are all too familiar to many who have encountered individuals arguing against following public health guidelines during this global crisis.
Hamill has consistently advocated for mask-wearing throughout the pandemic; he even shared a photo of himself as Luke Skywalker sporting a Joker mask, a character he has famously voiced in various animated series since the early ’90s. He joins a roster of celebrities, including Tom Hanks and Jamie Lee Curtis, in promoting mask usage as a crucial measure to mitigate the spread of the virus. The CDC supports this, noting that masks are an effective barrier against respiratory droplets.
The most rewarding aspect of the book, available on Amazon, is that its earnings will support World Central Kitchen’s mission to provide food for communities in need. Thank you, Luke Skywalker, for stepping up once again to save the day!
