Actor Mark Hamill visited the White House, where he gushed about President” Joebi-Wan Kenobi” and White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
” I called him’ Mr. President.’ He said,’ You may visit me Joe.’ And I said,’ May I call you , Joebi- Thin Kenobi?’ He liked it, the Star Wars artist said, while Jean-Pierre grinned in front of him during a press conference held for the White House on Friday.

Weijia Jiang, a columnist for CBS, questioned Hamill,” Did President Biden bring up Star War with you?”
Somewhere during his White House look, Hamill strangely referred to President Joe Biden as” the most legislatively , powerful leader in my life”.
” I was really thrilled to meet the whole team, if, you know, it’s not just one person. It’s like a hybrid endeavor”, the Bonkers artist added.

” Thank you” , , the White House Press , Secretary repeated, to which Hamill replied,” Okay” then walked away.
Jean- Pierre next took he spot again at the pulpit and gushed over the writer’s glasses, saying,” Thank you so much for being here. I gotta find those colors. Bless you, people. The writers in the room clapped and cheered, and the room elicited” Thank you.”
” No one ever claps for me when I get off the floor, only saying” , , Jean- Pierre laughed. ” I know — expect the unexpected. I do n’t even know where to go from there, but I do have — now I feel very by myself”.
