Mark Hamill is determined to #BeatTheDealers. The Star Wars: The Force Awakens star hates that so many Star Wars fans have been duped with fake autographs on Star Wars memorabilia they’ve paid good money to procure.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hamill is working with fans via Twitter to determine whether signatures on their merchandise are truly his or simply fakes.
It was Sunday night when Mark Hamill first checked out countless photos of merchandise bearing what they assumed was his signature. He was on Twitter doing so earlier on Monday as well.
Because I owe it to all true fans to protect them from being victimized by dishonest dealers!

Close call, but pretty sure it's FAKE. Misspelled name a good indicator of a fake (& I'm not that good an artist) https://t.co/kpKfP3ZPkq
