Mark Hamill, the actor who brought iconic character Luke Skywalker to life in the Star Wars franchise, has a unique reaction to a Darth Vader impression by CNN's Jim Acosta. The clip from their conversation shows how much of an impact Jim Acosta's impersonation had on Mark Hamill.
In the video, which clocks in at 2 minutes and 47 seconds, Mark Hamill couldn't help but break into laughter when he saw Jim Acosta wearing a Darth Vader costume. The CNN correspondent joked that he felt like "an old man who just got caught taking off from a lightspeed run."
When asked about his impression of the Star Wars character, Acosta said he tried to channel Mark Hamill's iconic voice and mannerisms. "It was really difficult not to laugh," Acosta admitted.
The segment also touches on the possibility of a new spin-off series centered around Luke Skywalker.

it would be so cool!! i think mark hamill would be like the best person to play him again, he's already played luke like 1000 times lol. but i'm also kinda curious how jim acosta did that impression of darth vader, i mean, he's not exactly known for his acting skills 
. and omg the part where mark hamill laughs in the video is literally the best thing ever

IT WAS SO CUTE! I MEAN WHO DOESN'T LOVE A GOOD IMPRESSION, RIGHT? 
BUT SERIOUSLY, IT WAS GREAT TO SEE TWO PUBLIC FIGURES HAVE A GOOD LAUGH TOGETHER, ESPECIALLY ON CAMPUS!!!
