The "Star Wars" actor even quoted Luke Skywalker as part of a $50k donation during the event.

Mark Hamill has a very good feeling about Kamala Harris’ presidency. 

The Star Wars legend joined Jeff Bridges, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and more on the star-studded "White Dudes for Harris” Zoom fundraiser for the Democratic presidential nominee last night — and even recited one of Luke Skywalker’s iconic lines as part of a $50 thousand dollar donation to her campaign.

Hamill quoted Luke’s line — “I’m Luke Skywalker and I’m here to rescue you” — from A New Hope as a gift for NYU professor Scott Galloway for his contribution. He also encouraged the Zoom’s more than 180,000 participants, who raised almost $4 million in donations that evening, to make sure that they were registered to vote in the November election. 

“That’s the most important thing. I saw a statistic — that was on the internet, so take it with a grain of salt — that 40 million registered Democrats didn’t vote in 2020, which is astonishing,” Hamill said. “You’ve got to vote.... It’s just so important.”

The original dude himself, Big Lebowski star Bridges, also appeared on the call to voice his enthusiasm for Harris. “I’m white, I’m a dude, and I’m for Harris!” he declared. “I’m excited, man, I think the fact that Joe has passed the baton so beautifully… I can see her being president. I’m so excited. A woman president, man, how exciting!”

Bridges continued, “And her championing of women’s rights, I’m for that, and for all her stances on the environment, and taking care of our children. All of her leadership on that is wonderful and something that I can get behind and support.”

During his speech, Gordon-Levitt took a moment to dismantle the narrative that former president Donald Trump was a good businessman.

“Let’s just say Donald Trump is a successful businessman, which I don’t think he is, is it because he’s been an honest businessman, or is it because he’s a con man?” The Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F star asked. “I think that’s really, really obvious. This guy is a conman, of course he is. Look at his past business careers — he’s consistently screwed over his customers, his tenants, his employees. Look at his past presidency, where his signature program was cutting taxes for rich people. Con man.”

Other speakers at the event included Misha Collins, Josh Groban, Lance Bass, Bradley Whitford, Michael Kelly, Pete Buttigieg, Adam Conover, Paul Scheer, Sean Astin, and Frozen star Josh Gad.

“The feeling that I have someone to so fully get behind, to be a cheerleader for, and to imagine standing there on Inauguration Day as I get to sit next to my daughters and listen to our first Madame President speak, that is the thing I want you all to imagine tonight,” Gad added. “That is the thing that has brought us all here, and that is the thing that, unlike last time, we’re going to make sure happens.”
