If there's one person you should never, ever mess with, it's Luke Skywalker.

On Tuesday, journalist Andrew Kaczynski shared a tweet from Department of Education employee Kevin Eck that was posted last November.

Referring to Hamill's comments to the Daily Beast about Trump's cabinet being "a who's-who of really despicable people", Eck responded with: "Stick to playing Han Solo's short little bitch".

Turns out that may have been a mistake.

Unsurprisingly, Hamill's response seemed to go down well on Twitter.

This person may have said it best, though.

Don't ever mess with a Jedi.
