Mark Hamill contemplated leaving the U.S. for London or Ireland following Donald Trump’s election, but his wife, Marilou York, challenged him not to flee. Hamill found Trump maddening, describing his presidency as a chaotic political narrative that has harmed America’s global status. He expressed that the absurdity of political distractions allows him to cope with the frustration. Hamill and York's relationship, rooted in humor and support, played a significant role in his decision to remain in the country.
"The bullying, the incompetence, the people in place... The only way I can deal with it without going crazy is to look at it like a thick, sprawling political novel."
"I'm surprised you would allow him to force you out of your own country.' That son of a bitch, I thought. I'm not leaving."
