Pakatan Harapan chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s every move, tweet and word is closely monitored by his legion of fans and opponents.
Last night, his “date night” with wife Siti Hasmah Ali to watch ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ created a stir when he tweeted he was “looking for inspiration to fight the Dark Forces" while watching the latest instalment of the blockbuster series.
The tweet was accompanied by a selfie with Siti Hasmah, along with another photograph.

In ‘Star Wars’, the Dark Force is characterised as a quasi-religious cult that uses evil to take over and rule the galaxy.
When asked after the movie about his favourite character, the Bersatu chairperson quipped, “Luke Skywalker.”
“It was a great picture,” he told Malaysiakini, but laughed when asked again if he thought he resembled his favourite character.
In ‘Star Wars’, Skywalker plays the main protagonist as a Jedi master leading the Rebel Alliance against the government of the universe, the Galactic Empire.
In the latest instalment, the fifth in the ‘Star Wars’ saga, Skywalker mentors a group of Jedi apprentices.
Mahathir, who helmed Umno for 22 years during his tenure as prime minister, left the party in 2016 to form Bersatu. He now leads the Pakatan Harapan alliance to battle against his former party, which heads the BN coalition.
