Legendary actor Mark Hamill recently appeared on CNN's Jim Acosta show, where he shared his thoughts on a potential spinoff series centered around Luke Skywalker.

During their conversation, Acosta attempted to channel the iconic character from the Star Wars franchise, complete with a deep breathing sound effect. Hamill couldn't help but laugh at Acosta's spot-on impersonation of Vader. When asked about his impressions, Hamill revealed that he thought Acosta did an excellent job capturing the essence of the beloved villain.

Acosta joked that his impression was so good, it might have given Luke Skywalker a run for his money in an epic battle between good and evil. The two Star Wars legends shared a laugh over their exchange, highlighting just how much of an impact this iconic character has had on popular culture.

The episode marked a fun and lighthearted moment amidst the world's ongoing obsession with the Star Wars franchise, showcasing that even in serious conversations about the future of these beloved stories, a little bit of humor never hurts.

And you know what's even cooler? The fact that Acosta joked about giving Luke Skywalker a run for his money... that's just epic!
 
🤣 I mean, who knew Jim Acosta had such skills? 😂 I'm not sure if he's been practicing his Darth Vader breathing exercises or what, but that impression was spot on! 🙌 And can we talk about how hilarious it is to see someone in a serious news setting cracking each other up like this? 💥 It's always refreshing to see the lighter side of things, especially when dealing with epic franchises like Star Wars. Mark Hamill seems like a great sport about it too, and I love that they shared a laugh over it - who knows, maybe Acosta just gave Luke Skywalker some friendly competition 😜.

I'm not sure why people are making such a big deal out of Jim Acosta's Darth Vader impression. It was funny, yeah, but it wasn't like he ruined the episode or anything 🤷‍♂️. I mean, Mark Hamill laughed at it and even gave him credit for doing it well, so what's not to love? And let's be real, Darth Vader is basically a meme now, so if Acosta can bring some laughs with a deep breathing sound effect, that's already winning in my book 😂. The episode was lighthearted and entertaining, and we shouldn't get too worked up about it. Can we move on to something else? 🤔
