A 59-year-old man in Ohio who is well-known for impersonating Mark Hamil’s Luke Skywalker character from “Star Wars” at local charity events was arrested this week on more than half a dozen criminal charges for allegedly trafficking child sexual abuse material online. John Stevens was taken into custody on Wednesday and charged with eight counts of pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor, court records reviewed by Law&Crime show.
Stevens appeared before a judge at the Hamilton County Courthouse on Thursday morning where Assistant Prosecuting Attorney David R. Wood asked the court to set a high bond amount for Stevens, citing the repugnant nature of the alleged material he uploaded.
Stevens, who refers to himself as a “volunteer cosplayer for charity” on his website, goes by the name “Fluke Skywalker” and says he got into impersonating the famous character because of his “fluke resemblance” to actor Mark Hamill.
In fact, Hamill in October of 2022 actually gave Stevens a shoutout on Twitter.
