Star Wars' star Mark Hamill got to yakking at Comic-Con (to promote a film called Sushi Girl) and "came out as a lifelong Democrat" in the process.

He did an interview with OntheRedCarpet.com and it's gone viral on both gossip and political sites - the force is with Hamill, after all.

Why? For his remarks about Mitt Romney:

"It goes back to Robin Hood. People that are fighting for the middle class and the have-nots," says Hamill. "It's something that we see even playing out in the presidential race. And if you don't vote for Barack Obama, you're insane-aa'cuz without him I think the middle class will completely disappear."

He continued, "And you look at Romney, and I'm sure he's a nice guy, but I think he's like The Thing -- he only imitates human behavior; he's not actually human himself.

"Do you know he had lemonade on the campaign trail last week (and) he said: 'Lemon. Wet. Good.' Really, he said that! So God bless him, I'm enjoying him running for office."
