Mark Hamill Shares Clever 'Star Wars: Episode IX' Trailer Tease
By Kwadar Ray
Mark Hamill is a number of things: the voice of DC villain Joker, a Star Wars icon and a multi-time Emmy Award nominee. But he's also a massive troll.
The actor has taken to Twitter multiple times to tease and troll fans for his own humor. He did so over the summer with a "breaking news" tweet about the Star Wars: Episode IX casting.

Hamill is back to trolling fans once again. A user on Twitter asked the actor, "Let's see another 'Trailer' photo for IX.' Being a man of the people, Hamill obliged.
Will post one tomorrow.#EXCLUSIVE! https://t.co/YoZZqi7oLU

Hamill held up his end of the bargain, but it was not necessarily the trailer fans wanted to see.
Here it is as promised (& who didn't see THIS coming?)

A) An #EXCLUSIVE #StarWarsTrailer photo!!
B) Bonus vintage photo of #TrollMasterHamill (who's considering retirement now that it's impossible to trick you nerds!) #EpNeinFootageAvailable pic.twitter.com/KXzLS1rlvm
He fittingly used the hashtag #TrollMasterHamill. Fans who were expecting an actual picture were obviously disappointed, but that's just life as a Mark Hamill Twitter follower.
I don't know why I expected anything different

There is no timetable for an Episode IX trailer to be released, but the theatrical premiere is expected in Dec. 2019.
