Since his controversial, misinformed appearance on The Pat McAfee Show last week, Aaron Rodgers has not found too many friends that have his back, at least not publicly.
After his latest appearance on last Tuesday, he can add Luke Skywalker to the list.
During Tuesday’s show, the Packers star wore a Star Wars hoodie from “Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker.” Mark Hamill, the actor who famously plays Luke Skywalker, was very upset he decided to go with that attire.
“Of all the sweatshirts he could have worn, he had to take full responsibility in THAT one?” Hamill tweeted.
Rodgers has been a longtime “Star Wars” fan as he sported Force-inspired gear during an April trip to Disney World with his fiancée, actress Shailene Woodley.
Rodgers had said in August he was “immunized” when asked about his vaccination status, which he addressed Friday during an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.”

“I believe strongly in bodily autonomy and the ability to make choices for your body, not to have to acquiesce to some woke culture or crazed group of individuals who say you have to do something. Health is not a one-size-fits-all for everybody,” Rodgers said at the time.
The quarterback added Tuesday that he was “excited” to rejoin the Packers, after missing last Sunday’s game due to testing positive for COVID.
He completed 23 of 37 passes for 292 yards. in the team’s 17-0 victory over the Seattle Seahawks.
