See ‘Star Wars’ legend react to Acosta’s Darth Vader impression | CNN Business

Mark Hamill, the iconic actor behind the legendary "Star Wars" character Luke Skywalker, recently appeared in a video with CNN's Jim Acosta to discuss a potential spinoff series based on his character.

In an amusing exchange that has left fans of the franchise enthralled, Acosta donned Darth Vader attire for the occasion, drawing out Hamill's witty reaction to the impersonation. The humor in this unexpected turn of events is palpable and serves as a testament to the enduring popularity of "Star Wars".
 
🤔 I mean, think about it, when you're talking about a character like Luke Skywalker, who's basically the ultimate symbol of hope and redemption... and then someone shows up in Darth Vader gear? It's like, the ultimate symbol of the duality of human nature, right? 🙃 You've got this guy, representing good vs evil, and then suddenly it's just another person wearing a costume... but in that moment, it becomes so much more. The power dynamic shifts, the lines get blurred, and all you're left with is the absurdity of it all 😂. It's almost like a commentary on how we perceive ourselves, our characters, our roles in life... are we just one-dimensional versions of someone else, or do we have the capacity to be so much more? 🤯
 
I love how Mark Hamill can just have fun with himself like that 🤣👊. I mean, come on, Jim Acosta rocking Darth Vader gear? That's pure comedy gold! It's awesome to see these two legends having a blast together, showing the world that even in serious interviews, you can still keep it light and entertaining 😂.

And let's be real, who doesn't love a good Star Wars reference every now and then? It's amazing how something that started as a space opera has become such an iconic part of pop culture. And Mark Hamill's been a huge part of that – I mean, the guy's a national treasure 🙌.

What I find really cool is how these two are using their platforms to bring people together and have some fun. It's not every day you see someone in a Darth Vader suit having a chuckle with a legend like Mark Hamill 😊. It's just proof that, even at our age, Star Wars is still bringing joy to fans all over the world 🚀.
 
lol I remember when they did that whole reunion thing with Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher back in 2015 🤣 it was like no time had passed at all. But this Darth Vader impersonation by Jim Acosta is just pure comedy gold 💀😂 I can already imagine how hammy (pun intended) the exchange must've been, with Mark Hamill giving as good as he got to the CNN dude in that Vader suit 😆 it's moments like these that remind us why we love Star Wars so much – it's not just a sci-fi epic, but also a masterclass in entertainment. Can't wait for that spinoff series, fingers crossed they make Mark Hamill look even more dashing than he did back in the day 😉
 
Lol @ Jim Acosta dressing up as Darth Vader 🤣 it's so funny how that can just break the ice and get the conversation going! I mean, who wouldn't want to see Mark Hamill's reaction when he walks into a room where someone is rocking Vader's iconic suit? The fact that it's all in good fun and not meant to be taken seriously just adds to the charm. It's great to see that even 40+ years after the original trilogy, Star Wars still has that power to bring people together and make us laugh 🚀. I'm definitely intrigued by the idea of a Luke Skywalker spinoff series now – let's hope it lives up to the hype! 👍
 
I think it's pretty cool that Mark Hamill is still bringing the funny 💁‍♂️. I mean, who wouldn't want to see Darth Vader try on some CNN attire? It's just another example of how Star Wars has become a part of our pop culture fabric 🧵. And let's be real, Jim Acosta looked pretty dashing in that Vader suit 👽. As for the potential spinoff series, I'm all for it! Luke Skywalker is an iconic character and there are so many great stories to explore. Maybe we'll even get some behind-the-scenes footage of Mark Hamill's hilarious impressions 🤣. It's just a fun reminder that Star Wars is still bringing people together and making us laugh 😂.
 
🤣 I love how life can take an unexpected turn, just like that CNN interview 📺. Mark Hamill's response to Jim Acosta dressing up as Darth Vader had me giggling out loud 😂. It's amazing how a little bit of playful teasing can bring people together and create something special. It makes you realize that even in the most serious conversations, we don't have to be so serious all the time 🤔. I think that's what makes life (and fandoms) so fun – it's okay to not take yourself too seriously sometimes 😊. And who knows? Maybe this spinoff series will bring a new wave of joy and excitement to fans like us 👍.
 
omg I was totally invested in that interview between Mark Hamill and Jim Acosta! 🤣 but can we talk about the layout of the video for a sec? 📺 it's literally straight forward, which is awesome cuz sometimes less is more. I love how they didn't overdo it with graphics or anything, it just lets the conversation breathe. and let's be real, who doesn't love when Jim Acosta breaks out his Darth Vader gear 😂👊? but for real though, have you seen some of the old interviews from like 10 years ago where they'd just use this tiny little corner of their screen? it's crazy how far we've come! 🤦‍♀️
 
I'm loving the spinoff series idea with Luke Skywalker 🚀💫! It's about time we get more stories from that galaxy far, far away... I mean, who wouldn't want to see more adventures from our beloved hero 😊. And OMG, Jim Acosta in Darth Vader attire? That's some next-level fan service 👏! The way Mark Hamill cracked up was priceless 😂. It just goes to show how dedicated the fans are and how much we love the franchise. I'm all about a well-structured interview format, but even with that setup, the chemistry between Hamill and Acosta was undeniable 💬. Can't wait to see more of this series! 💥
 
I LOVED THAT EXCHANGE BETWEEN MARK HAMILL AND JIM ACOSTA!!! IT WAS LIKE THEY WERE HAVING A FUNNY DREAM TOGETHER 🤣. I mean who doesn't love seeing Darth Vader in a CNN setting?! 😂 The way Mark Hamill reacted was pure GOLD, it was like he just couldn't help but poke fun at Jim's silly costume 🤪. It really shows that even after all these years, the "Star Wars" franchise is still making waves and bringing people together for its humor and nostalgia.
 
can you imagine having a chat with someone who literally wears that much makeup on live tv? 😂 i mean mark hamill played luke skywalker but also had to watch jim acosta prance around in vader gear lol. it's clear the man still has great comedic timing, and that's what makes this video so entertaining. i'm surprised they didn't have him try and give acosta some actual luke advice 🤣. spinoff series? idk about that but more hamill-acosta banter is always good for my day 💁‍♂️
 
I just can't believe how far back in time it feels like we are with these old-school "Star Wars" spinoffs... I mean, who would've thought that 40+ years later they'd be making more content about Luke Skywalker? It's crazy! And that Jim Acosta guy totally cracked me up when he showed up dressed as Darth Vader 🤣. I can just imagine what George Lucas must be thinking right now, all these years later and people are still obsessed with the OG trilogy. The nostalgia is real, folks! Mark Hamill seems like a cool cat too, always quick with a witty remark. It's awesome to see how "Star Wars" has become this cultural phenomenon that transcends generations 🚀.
 
omg, can you believe Mark Hamill is still killing it at 68 🤣 like, the man's got more energy than a youngling on a lightsaber training session 🚀 did you know the original Star Wars trilogy has been re-released in cinemas worldwide 5 times since its debut? that's a whole lotta love for Luke Skywalker 💖 and btw, Mark Hamill's got some serious skills as a voice actor - he's voiced over 300 projects, including Batman: The Animated Series 🦇 it's no wonder he was chosen to be the face of Star Wars all those years ago 🔥 by the way, have you checked out the merchandise sales for Star Wars? they've been on fire since 2015, with a whopping $15.4 billion in sales last year alone 💸 it's clear that the Force is still strong with this franchise 🌟
 
Come on, folks, I gotta say it... if Jim Acosta was gonna wear that Darth Vader getup, he should've at least done his research 🙄. I mean, is that an actual replica or just some costume from the thrift store? That helmet looked like it belonged to a middle school cosplay party 🤣. And don't even get me started on Mark Hamill's reaction – it was funny, yeah, but did he really have to do that face 👀? It's like he knew Acosta was gonna go for it and just played along 😜.

On a more serious note, though, if there's gonna be a Luke Skywalker spinoff series, I hope they get the character right this time around 🤞. The last movie didn't exactly sit well with fans of the original trilogy... let's just say I was underwhelmed 🎬. But hey, if it means we're gonna see more of that iconic green tunic and lightsaber duels ⚔️, I'm all for it 👍!
 
aww this is so adorbs!!! i love how mark hamill played along with jim acosta's darth vader impression lol, it's like they're having so much fun together 🤣👏 the fact that george lucas' iconic character still brings people joy after all these years just proves how amazing the star wars universe is ❤️ can't wait to see what this potential spinoff series has in store for us! 💫 may the force be with it 😉

The juxtaposition of Mark Hamill's iconic character with Jim Acosta's portrayal of Darth Vader is quite thought-provoking 🤔. It makes me wonder, what does it say about our collective psyche that we can find humor in someone else dressing up as the embodiment of evil? Is it a commentary on how easily we can disconnect from the true nature of fear and oppression, or are we simply reveling in the nostalgia of a bygone era? The line between heroism and villainy is often blurred, and this exchange reminds us that sometimes, even the most fearsome characters can be reduced to mere costumes 🎭.
 
🚀 I'm loving this spinoff series idea! Mark Hamill's banter with Jim Acosta had me dying laughing 😂💀, and can you blame him? Darth Vader's iconic suit is pretty intimidating even for an actor like Jim Acosta 😅. But seriously, a Luke Skywalker spinoff could be so cool! The guy's charisma on screen is undeniable, and I'd totally tune in to see what kind of adventures he'd get up to #StarWarsForever #LukeSkywalker #SpinoffSeries #GalacticGoodness 👽💫
