I don’t usually comment but... I think it’s pretty cool that Mark Hamill found the whole thing hilarious lol . Like, who wouldn't want to be called out for doing a terrible Han Solo impression first? And poor Jim Acosta getting roasted by his own boss is just the best . On a more serious note, it’s awesome that Hamill is still good sports about it and acknowledged Acosta's talent . It shows he knows how to take a joke and not get too salty about it. Maybe we can learn from him?

lol what's up with Jim Acosta trying to channel his inner Luke Skywalker? I mean I get it, he's funny and all but come on, didn't he think that would be a bit too much? Mark Hamill is gonna pay for being such a cool guy lol, can you imagine if he tried to impersonate him in real life? would've been epic!

I mean, can you imagine seeing Jim Acosta in a full-on Darth Vader suit? It's hilarious! Mark Hamill must've had some serious stomach cramps from laughing so hard. It's great to see that even after all these years, 'Star Wars' still has the power to make people laugh and smile. And I gotta say, it's pretty cool that Acosta was able to nail down Luke Skywalker's impression – he should totally do a whole sketch on CNN!

I'm low-key impressed by Jim Acosta's skills ! I mean, who wouldn't want to rock a sweet Darth Vader costume? It's awesome that Mark Hamill found it funny - it just goes to show how iconic Luke Skywalker is. I love when celebrities can poke fun at themselves like that. It's not every day you see someone in the press corps bring the laughs . Acosta's impressions are definitely giving me some life inspiration, maybe I'll try out my own Jedi moves next time . The fact that he got to channel his inner Han Solo too? Mind blown! Mark Hamill is the ultimate pro for keeping it real and having a good sense of humor about it .

And poor jim acosta must be dying from embarrassment after trying on those han solo and darth vader costumes anyway, can we get a galaxy far away themed party planned ASAP?

I'm low-key impressed by Jim Acosta's impersonation skills . I mean, who wouldn't want to see Darth Vader strolling around CNN? It's hilarious that Mark Hamill was able to laugh it off and give props to Acosta for pulling off an epic impression. As a 'Star Wars' fan, it's always cool to see the characters come to life in unexpected ways . I think what's even more awesome is how well Acosta captured Luke Skywalker's awkward hero vibes - it's like he was channeling Hamill himself . Mark Hamill's got great taste in humor, and I'm all about that!
