Mark Hamill, the actor who brought legendary "Star Wars" character Luke Skywalker to life on screen, has opened up about a potential spinoff series centered around his iconic character. During an appearance with CNN's Jim Acosta, Hamill shared his thoughts on the idea of exploring more stories set in the Star Wars universe.
The conversation between Hamill and Acosta took place after Acosta attempted to channel his inner "Star Wars" character by wearing a Darth Vader costume during their interview. The stunt went viral, with many fans reacting to the humorous exchange on social media.
During their discussion, Hamill expressed his enthusiasm for the idea of delving deeper into the Star Wars universe and exploring new stories that could potentially be set in the same time period as the original trilogy. He also hinted at the possibility of revisiting some of the beloved characters from the franchise's past, including Luke Skywalker himself.
When asked about the potential spinoff series, Hamill stated that he would be open to being involved in any project that explores the Star Wars universe in a meaningful way. However, he emphasized the importance of ensuring that any new stories stay true to the spirit of the original films and maintain the integrity of the franchise's beloved characters.
As for Acosta's Darth Vader impression, Hamill good-naturedly poked fun at his colleague's antics, joking that he hoped Acosta would stick to reporting on politicians instead of trying to channel Han Solo.

. A potential spinoff series centered around Luke Skywalker? That sounds like a dream come true for fans like me! I mean, who wouldn't want more stories set in that epic galaxy far, far away? And I love how Mark Hamill is on board with it - he's always been a huge part of the franchise's magic 
. But what I'm really excited to see is how they'll balance new stories with staying true to the original films and characters. Can't wait to see what they come up with! 
i'm totally down for it! i think it'd be sick to explore more of the star wars universe, especially with all the amazing characters we've been introduced to over the years. i'd love to see more of luke's journey, maybe even some new adventures that don't involve han and leia... but still have those iconic moments that make us go "whoa" 
acosta was hilarious in his darth vader cosplay tho, gotta give him points for creativity! what do u guys think about a potential luke spinoff? should we see more of this guy's legendary lightsaber duels 
I'm not sure if a Luke Skywalker spinoff is really needed... I mean, we already got the prequels and they didn't exactly set the universe on fire (pun intended). And let's be real, Mark Hamill has been playing Luke for like 40 years now. It's time to move on? Not saying it can't happen, but do we really need more of the same old thing? 
Sources on this one, please!
! A Luke Skywalker spinoff series? That sounds amazing to me! I mean, we've had so many awesome stories in the Star Wars universe already, but it's always cool to explore new ones. I hope they do something that stays true to the original spirit of the films and doesn't mess with my childhood memories 
. And lol @ Jim Acosta trying on a Darth Vader costume - that was hilarious! I'm not sure if he should try being Han Solo, though... might be hard for him to rock that whole space smuggler vibe 
. Anyway, can't wait to see what they come up with!
. And can we please, please have a spinoff that focuses on the Old Republic era?! That's where all the real magic happens 
, those little guys are the best!
i wonder if they'll actually make a luke skywalker spinoff series tho? i mean, that would be amazing! but what kind of story would they tell about him? would it be set right after the original trilogy or before? idk im just so down for more star wars content 
and I love that he's open to revisiting his iconic character. The idea of exploring new stories set in the Star Wars universe is giving me LIFE 
especially since we're getting older and it's time for some more nostalgic goodness. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to see more of Luke's adventures?! I'm shipping this spinoff series ASAP 
I'm loving this idea of a Luke Skywalker spinoff series! It's about time we get more of those awesome space battles and adventures outside of the original trilogy 
. Can you imagine Luke facing off against the Sith Lord again?! Mind. Blown. 
. plus, imagine revisiting some of our fave past characters... luke skywalker as a grizzled old man or something? 
could be interesting 
it'd be cool to see him face new challenges as a hero, not just a jedi master
It makes me think about how our identities are shaped by the stories we tell ourselves and others...
The idea of revisiting old characters is also giving me all the feels - can we please have a solo Luke Skywalker series?!?! 
and acosta's darth vader costume was LOL-worthy 
. I mean, come on, we've got Luke Skywalker's character already so fully fleshed out from the original films. It's gonna be hard to top that. Still, if anyone can do it, it's Mark Hamill - he's still got that iconic charm and swagger going on
