Luke Skywalker has a new Padawan.
10-year-old Aiden Vazquez of Desert Hot Springs, California, was punched in the face and ended up getting stitches above his right eye when his backpack was taken by bullying boys at his elementary school. When 5th grader Vazquez’s mother asked him why he didn’t fight back, he told her, “I got it from Star Wars, it’s not the Jedi way.”
Mark Hamill repplied to Vazquez’s strong moral beliefs via his Twitter:
SHOUT OUT to Aiden Vazquez for his courage & wisdom in the face of adversity. I’m so proud of you for showing that you can be a Jedi in real life. Congratulations, Aiden- The Force will be with YOU… Always!!!
