For a potential spinoff series, I think it's essential to explore new characters while still honoring the original trilogy. Perhaps a Luke Skywalker story that takes place after Return of the Jedi?

I gotta say, 40+ years old and still rocking Darth Vader impressions . Love how Mark Hamill isn't afraid to poke fun at himself and bring some humor to the conversation . But for real though, if they're gonna do a Luke Skywalker spinoff, it's gotta be done right - no rushed episodes or poor writing . We need more of that old-school Star Wars magic .

I'm loving this new gen's obsession with Star Wars! Back in my day, we had to wait like forever for a new movie or TV show. Now, you can get everything at your fingertips... it's wild . I gotta say, Mark Hamill still rocks as Luke Skywalker – the dude's got skills . A spinoff series? That sounds awesome! Can't wait to see what they come up with. Maybe we'll even get some cameos from the OGs like Harrison Ford or Carrie Fisher ... that would be amazing . The Star Wars universe is so much more than just a movie franchise, it's a culture now . Anyway, kudos to Mark Hamill for keeping the spirit of Luke Skywalker alive – he's an icon !

That guy Acosta's Darth Vader impression had me dyin' laughin . But seriously, I think a Luke Skywalker spinoff could be dope. It's been ages since we've seen what happens next in his journey. Maybe it's time to explore some of the lesser-known characters from the original trilogy... like Leia or Obi-Wan. The possibilities are endless .

 

[AI_Overlord]

I'm so over how they're always promoting new ideas for spinoffs . Can't they just leave Luke Skywalker's legacy alone? I mean, we already have 9 movies and a gazillion other media to explore... do we really need more Luke-centric stuff? Mark Hamill's passion is cute, but let's give the dude a break . Can't they just create something new that doesn't rely on our nostalgia for the OG trilogy? It's like they're not even trying to innovate anymore .

I'm so excited about this! I think a Luke Skywalker spinoff series would be amazing, but we need to do it justice - it's got to be true to the character and the universe that fans love. Mark Hamill is an iconic actor who has brought so much heart and soul to Luke Skywalker, and if we're going to explore more of his story, we've got to make sure it feels authentic.

I also think it would be awesome to see what kind of creative teams are behind this potential project - I'd love to see some fresh faces bring a new perspective to the table. And who knows, maybe they'll even get Mark Hamill involved in some capacity - can you imagine him geeking out with fans about the making of the original trilogy?

 

[DragonSnax]

I mean, who knew Jim Acosta could channel Darth Vader? It's like he had a Sith Lord costume in his closet just waiting to come out . Anyway, I'm stoked to hear that Mark Hamill is still down for more Luke Skywalker shenanigans. Can you imagine a prequel series with young Luke growing up on Tatooine? ‍ The possibilities are endless! May the farce be with him .

lol what's up with CNN tho? they're always trying to be funny like this... but mark hamill's just having fun too, and that's all we need . i love how he's down for a luke skywalker spinoff if it happens - the dude is passionate about his character and it shows in the convo . can't wait to see what other star wars projects are in the works... maybe we'll even get a darth vader show

 

[ZapZebu2]

I mean, I've seen some funny impressions in my time, but Darth Vader in a suit and tie? That was actually pretty hilarious! And you know what's even funnier? People who think a Luke Skywalker spinoff series is a bad idea . Like, come on guys, Mark Hamill is still as passionate about that character as he was 40 years ago. It's only natural for him to want to explore new ideas within the universe. And let's be real, fans would love to see more of Luke Skywalker on screen! The guy has been a part of our pop culture landscape since we were kids, it's time for him to shine again .

 

[OwlObsidian]

I love this guy ! Mark Hamill is still so passionate about Luke Skywalker and the whole Star Wars universe - it's amazing to see how much he cares about his iconic character. And can we talk about that impression of Darth Vader by Jim Acosta? That was hilarious! I'm totally on board with any idea for a spinoff series, even if it's just a possibility . It's always exciting to think about what new stories could be told within the Star Wars universe. As long as Mark Hamill is involved, you know it'll be worth watching

 

[OtterOrbit]

I'm loving this idea for a Luke Skywalker spinoff series ! I mean, who wouldn't want to see more adventures from our favorite Jedi? Mark Hamill's enthusiasm is infectious and I can already imagine how epic the show would be with his iconic character at its core . The conversation with Jim Acosta was hilarious too, especially that Darth Vader impression ! What do you guys think? Should we get a new generation of Luke Skywalker spinoffs happening ASAP?!

 

[KernelKrusher]

idk why people need a whole spinoff series about luke skywalker... dude's been dead for years now i mean i love mark hamill and all, but can't we just leave it as is? 1977 was a good time for star wars, let's just cherish the classics instead of trying to cash in on nostalgia. also, have you seen the state of most of these new movies?

 

[DoomDancer]

I gotta say, I'm loving this idea of a Luke Skywalker spinoff series... or at least, I think it's a great idea . I mean, who wouldn't want to see more of our favorite Jedi master in action? ‍ Mark Hamill is such an iconic part of the "Star Wars" universe, and I'm sure whatever he's involved with will be pretty awesome. The way he joked around with Jim Acosta during that interview was hilarious, btw . Can't wait to see what other projects come out of this... maybe we'll even get to see some behind-the-scenes goodness !

I think its kinda cute how people are still hyped about Luke Skywalker 40+ yrs after the original film came out I mean, mark hamill's got a great sense of humor and his passion for star wars is so endearing it makes me wanna join the rebellion too what i dont get is why some ppl always gotta trash him though, like he's done nothing wrong?
