I mean, what else could it be? Because it seems like Ted Cruz didn’t have anything to do on a Sunday so he thought it would be appropriate to get into a twitter battle with Mark Hamill. And did we mention he tried to explain Star Wars to Luke Skywalker?
It all started when Mark Hamill threw some shade towards Ajit Pai, the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.
Cute video Ajit “Aren’t I Precious?” Pai but you are profoundly unworthy 2 wield a lightsaber-A Jedi acts selflessly for the common man-NOT lie 2 enrich giant corporations. Btw-did you pay John Williams his royalty?

However, Cruz was there to back up Ajit Pai and responded. In his haste, he tagged the wrong twitter account. (Which he rectified later.) Although the biggest mistake he made was to correct Mark Hamill’s Star Wars knowledge.
.@HammillHimself Luke, I know Hollywood can be confusing, but it was Vader who supported govt power over everything said & done on the Internet. That's why giant corps (Google, Facebook, Netflix) supported the FCC power grab of net neutrality. Reject the dark side: Free the net! https://t.co/nARkMvIEYk

Thanks for smarm-spaining it to me @tedcruz I know politics can be confusing, but you'd have more credibility if you spelled my name correctly. I mean IT'S RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF YOU! Maybe you're just distracted from watching porn at the office again❤️-mh https://t.co/nHpJVG1Wpe

Yes, that's it. So sorry to misspell your name. Respond not with facts, but with anger. Who was it that said, "Fear is the path to the dark side…fear leads to anger…anger leads to hate"? (1/2) https://t.co/uwMMzgKC1R

Ted,
I feel like Star Wars action figures were your only friends. I also feel even they couldn't stand you.— Soren McCarthy (@SorenMcCarthy) December 17, 2017
You endorsed Roy Moore, so I find you quoting Yoda about hate to @HamillHimself a bit disingenuous. Apparently you didn't take those lessons to heart.
