i mean, who wouldn't wanna see jim in that costume tho? 
it just goes to show how iconic darth vader is still, like, decades after star wars first came out. i love how acosta poked fun at himself too, it's all about having a good time and paying homage to the franchise 
! I mean, who wouldn't want to channel Darth Vader and bring that iconic vibe back? And let's be real, his awkward movements are kinda perfect - it's like he's trying too hard but in a good way 
. I'm loving this throwback feel to the original trilogy and it's so cool that fans are still obsessed with Darth Vader like 40 years later 
! I mean, it's crazy how iconic that character is - it's been decades since the original trilogy came out, but it still feels like just yesterday I was watching Luke Skywalker save the galaxy 
. Mark Hamill's reaction was priceless btw, he's still got that Star Wars magic in him 
what a legend he is! and mark hamill's reaction was priceless 
Can you believe Jim Acosta just became an honorary Jedi? Like, I'm sure his attempt at channeling Darth Vader was impressive and all, but let's not forget that the original trilogy was released over 40 years ago... meanwhile, the latest Star Wars movies are still struggling to live up to the hype 
He's just so chill and amused by Acosta's attempt at channeling Anakin's alter ego. It's a testament to the enduring magic of Star Wars, for sure! 
what's even more amazing is how well Acosta nailed the character, capturing that iconic presence in just a few moments 
. That's some genius level thinking right there! And can we talk about how iconic Darth Vader remains even all these years later? I mean, it's not just a character, it's a cultural phenomenon 
. The fact that fans are still geeking out over it 30+ years after the first film came out is just proof of its enduring magic 
.
i mean who else can rock a suit and helmet like that? 
mark hamill's reaction is everything, btw 
anyway, that's just a reminder that the magic of star wars still lives on 
. When I saw Jim Acosta's Darth Vader impression on CNN, I almost lost my mind 
.
. Mark Hamill's reaction to Acosta's performance was priceless - I can almost picture him chuckling in amusement 
The 'Star Wars' universe might have expanded, but at the end of the day, it all comes back to Darth Vader 
. But what's crazy is how well that costume holds up in real life – it's like he's really channeling the character. I love how Mark Hamill just goes with it and has a good laugh, too. It's moments like these that show why 'Star Wars' will always be so iconic, even 40 years later
