The Force is with Mark Hamill, meaning his Twitter fanbase.
When Katie LeBarron of Green Bay, Wisconsin, suggested the “Star Wars” actor could get thousands of retweets of “bippity boppity boo,” she was right.
Only three hours after @HamillHimself tweeted the nonsense line from “Cinderella,” the phrase had been forwarded 21,000 times.

Of course, Hamill has 2.38 million followers (compared with LeBarron’s 416), but the Twitterverse signed thumbs up.
Hamill mocked (and milked) himself, with a second tweet:

Just goes to show how fanatical your fan base is. Almost cult like.

I bet @HamillHimself could tweet how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood and it would get over 20 thousand retweets

Cutest tweet of 2018 so far.

I think that @HamillHimself could tweet all the secrets about #StarWars that absolutely no one is allowed to know and get retweeted thousands of times….
