Mark Hamill \u2014 famously known for playing Luke Skywalker in Star Wars \u2014 quickly took to his account to share his distaste for the change and even started a hashtag \u201c#BringBackLIKES\u201d that quickly went viral on the app. \u201cI WANT people to know it was me that liked their tweets. Now my only option is to reply & write the word \u2018like\u2019,\u201d he said. \u201cHow can we get the powers-that-be to STOP \u2018improving\u2019 this site?\u201d Fans rallied alongside Hamill in support, using the hashtag to share their thoughts about the change.

He has since commented the word \u201clike\u201d under hundreds of posts, and it\u2019s getting noticed by many of his 5.1M followers. \u201cMark Hamill definitely has better things to do with his time than this, Elon Musk,\u201d said one user alongside a screenshot of Hamill\u2019s many posts. He responded, stating that he was \u201calready exhausted\u201d after spending just one day protesting the change. \u201cAgreed. It\u2019s only been one day & I\u2019m already exhausted,\u201d he said. Hamill also reacted to Twitter\u2019s GrokAI summarization of his trending posts, which read: \u201cMark Hamill has been responding to posts on X by writing \u2018like\u2019 in the comments, a playful gesture that has garnered attention and appreciation from users who view it as a positive and humorous reaction to the platforms modifications.\u201d Users shared their appreciation for Mark\u2019s \u201ctrend\u201d in the replies to this tweet. \u201cFinally, a trend that I like,\u201d one user commented.
