Just like the heated Presidential debate between US President Donald Trump and candidate Joe Biden a couple of weeks back, the Vice Presidential discourse between hopefuls Mike Pence and Kamala Harris was also plagued with controversy and a little bit of hilarity to balance things out. The amusing bit during the debate has something to do with a fly that may have overstayed its welcome on Pence's head during one of his speeches. The tiny fella totally became a show-stealer during the debate and naturally, it had the entire world talking once again.

The sticky fly situation instantly made headlines and caught the attention of viewers and several celebrities who had quite a few laughs out of it. Even Star Wars actor Mark Hamill, who previously came out to take a jab at the Presidential debate is once again chiming in and Hamill himself couldn't help but poke fun at Pence and his newly-found insect pal who clearly overshadowed the Vice Presidential candidate. In a tweet, Hamill wrote: "He consistently went over his allotted time, ignored questions he didn't like while asking questions of his own, condescendingly "Pencesplained" so a woman could understand, tried to defend the indefensible & still, a fly got all the headlines."

He would then follow it up with another post that writes: "Does anyone have a lie-swatter?" Check out his tweet below:

The acting legend isn't shy about speaking his mind regarding certain political issues and when you think about it, the same can actually be said about his iconic Star Wars character Luke Skywalker who isn't one to be oppressed even by the Galactic Empire. Heck, even his father Darth Vader couldn't convince him to join the Dark Side which says a lot about Luke's principles and morals. That being said, Hamill is beloved by fans all over the world for his no BS attitude and that's something he's totally embodied through the years. Mr. Hamill, don't you ever change!
