Star Wars stars Mark Hamill and BB-8 light up 2018 Oscars

Not that long ago at the Academy Awards, in a galaxy known as Hollywood, spacey stars Oscar Isaac and Kelly Marie Tran joined Luke Skywalker to hand out statues with sass.

"Star Wars: The Last Jedi" didn't get any Academy Award acting nominations, but that didn't mean the space saga didn't have a presence at Sunday night's Oscars.

Stars Mark Hamill, Oscar Isaac, Kelly Marie Tran and BB-8 all gathered in Hollywood's Dolby Theatre galaxy to present the awards for best animated feature to "Coco," and best animated short film to "Dear Basketball."

Hamill's been joking about the presentation almost since his inclusion was announced.

So..... anything good on TV tonight?

Hamill was a Force-fully fun presenter, dropping a joke about his Jedi retirement plan. "I'm here to pick up my monthly check under the Jedi pension plan," he cracked. "Apparently they never end."

Jedi pension plan? What, is that a 401(k2d2)?

And as he opened the first envelope, Hamill murmured to himself, "Don't say 'La La Land,' don't say 'La La Land.'"

Isaac got in a joke too, about how he could understand rolling droid BB-8. "I'm fluent in Yiddish," he said.

BB-8 is a member of the tribe?? I will take Oscar Isaac’s word as canon and accept that droid as a Jew and a Yiddish speaker.

But some thought the Star Wars stars could've shone more brightly.

Oh, #Oscars...you get Mark Hamill, Oscar Isaac and Kelly Marie Tran onstage and all you hand them is lame dialogue about robot discrimination and Jedi pension checks? This blerd is about to lose it....
