"Boy Stuff? Please!" Mark Hamill Reminds a Sad Seven-Yr-Old the Force Is Strong With Girls Too

Because the Force doesn't discriminate against gender.

A mother took to Twitter to garner support for her seven-year-old daughter who was worried that her classmates would make fun of her for wearing a Star Wars shirt to school.

The mother explained that her daughter was crying because she worried about being bullied for liking 'boy stuff' like Star Wars.

My 7 year old daughter's crying in bed right now because she wants to wear her Star Wars t-shirt to school but is scared her classmates will laugh because she likes 'boy stuff'. I'm so sad/angry for her. Please RT and comment so I can show her how awesome girl #StarWars fans are.

The force has a way of correcting things in the universe so it made sense that Luke Skywalker himself (sometimes known as Mark Hamill) would offer some very truthful advice.

Just tell her to feel free to use this gesture if her classmates give her any grief. "Boy stuff"? PLEASE! The Force is, & always will be strong with females here on Earth & in galaxies far, far away.

The gesture was so sweet that it inspired others to share their stories of wearing Star Wars-related clothing.

Just told my 5yo girl this and she said: "No, that's not right because Star Wars is good and girls and boys can wear anything they want to." She then followed with "Can I be Rey tomorrow and not wear my uniform?" "No."

Star Wars girl AND mom! In high school (mid 90s) I nervously wore a Boys ringer t-shirt with C-3P0 & R2-D2 to High School. It turns out that I ended up relating to a lot of other kids who liked Star Wars who didn’t realize I liked Star Wars. Sometimes it’s a conversation starter!

Howdy. I'm NASA Rey. I cosplay as Rey while driving Mars rovers and flying NASA's TIE fighter. pic.twitter.com/Rw0yAceIfx

And in the end? She did wear it to school paired with some unicorn trousers. She's definitely a Princess Leia or Rey in the makin'.

Thanks everyone. She's now talking about wearing it with pride alongside her unicorn trousers because she can see there are plenty of other Star Wars girls out there 💗
