I wonder what other celebrities have had people impersonate them in a humorous way and how they react 🤷‍♂️. Does anyone else think it's cool that "Star Wars" characters still feel relevant after all these years? Maybe we can learn something from its enduring legacy about the power of pop culture 📺.
