The whole thing started on Sunday after a fan suggested that Mark could “just tweet ‘Mark Hamill'” and he’d “get thousands of likes.” Never one to shy away from testing a theory, he did just that. And, sure enough, the likes started rollin’ in by the (tens of) thousands:

The tweet currently has well over 500k likes as of this morning.

Then, other celebs got involved to see if tweeting “Mark Hamill” would result in thousands of likes for them, too:
