As Air Force One landed in Florida on Thursday, President Trump poked his head into the press cabin during a screening of “Rogue One,” the latest “Star Wars” film.
AFP staff photojournalist Jim Watson caught the moment on camera, which happened to be during a scene with the villainous Darth Vader. It didn’t take long for a few keen-eyed Twitter users pointed out that in the photo Trump’s head appears next to Vader on the screen.
Teasing followed, with one journalist, BuzzFeed world news editor and reporter Hayes Brown, quipping that the scene is “beyond iconic.”
