In a delightful twist, Mark Hamill, famous for his portrayal of Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, is stepping into the literary world to address a pressing issue — mask-wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hamill narrates a charming new children’s book titled “Will You Wear A Mask? I Ask,” penned by Tom Ruegger. The book aims to encourage those resistant to wearing masks to reconsider their stance in a light-hearted, Seuss-like manner.
The story features two whimsical characters who share outlandish conspiracy theories and misinformation surrounding the pandemic, which has tragically claimed over 486,000 lives in the U.S., as reported by Johns Hopkins University. Hamill took to social media to promote the book, stating, “Think you’ve heard the lamest excuses for NOT wearing a mask? Get a load of THIS guy! This clip is from ‘Will You Wear A Mask? I Ask.’ All proceeds go to #WorldCentralKitchen to feed those in need!”
In the narrative, an anti-mask character, characterized by a red baseball cap, presents various dubious “reasons” for refusing to wear a mask in public. Lines like “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,” reflect common arguments that have been echoed by individuals dismissing the importance of public health guidelines during the global crisis.
Hamill’s advocacy for mask-wearing has been evident throughout the pandemic, even sharing a photo of himself in character as Luke Skywalker donning a Joker mask, a nod to his role as the Joker in numerous animated projects. Like other celebrities, including Tom Hanks and Jamie Lee Curtis, Hamill is using his platform to promote the simple yet vital step of wearing masks to help curb the spread of the virus.
The book is not only entertaining but also serves a greater purpose, as its proceeds go to World Central Kitchen, an organization dedicated to providing meals for those in need. So, thank you, Luke Skywalker, for your continued efforts to protect us!
