CRINGE: Obama Recruits Luke Skywalker to Sell His Ugly Presidential Center on 'Star Wars Day'

Holy cringe.

Today is May 4th — a.k.a. ‘Star Wars Day!’

For Star Wars fans, it’s become a day to celebrate the legendary franchise.

May the Fourth be with you…

But apparently, Barack Obama thought ‘Star Wars Day’ presented a perfect opportunity to promote his new, horrendous Presidential Center.

He teamed up with actor Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars series, to make a really hard-to-watch video showcasing the monstrosity of a building.

Watch the video for yourself here:

May the Fourth be with YOU, from the Obama Presidential Center.

Now, the video is going viral…but, probably not for the reason that Obama wanted it to.

Replies on X were absolutely merciless:

This is an absolute disaster for them

Looks like a giant trash can.

Yeah doesn’t everybody want to pay $30 to go to a monstrosity in a crimeridden area and have to show ID but not have to show ID to vote?

Is Mark Hamil drunk or high in this video? pic.twitter.com/2WTHYyzRxd

Many folks were quick to point out how much Obama’s hideous library resembles the Death Star in Star Wars — only uglier!

Funny how you’re standing with Luke Skywalker in front of the Death Star! 🤣

That is one ugly f*cking building! 🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/Pw7LwUt94t

Cool. That building looks like an even more hideous Death Star.

I mean seriously, who thought this video was a good idea?

Are they trying to make us think of Democrats as the bad guys from Star Wars?

Because, it isn’t far from the truth…

Benny Johnson reacted to the cringe-worthy video further:

Mark Hamill and Obama just posted the most cringe video ever promoting his HIDEOUS Presidential Library.

This is hard to watch… pic.twitter.com/K7T8t9pAJ7

One thing is for sure…

I’ll take President Trump’s upcoming library any day over Obama’s abomination!
