See ‘Star Wars’ legend react to Acosta’s Darth Vader impression | CNN Business

Mark Hamill, the iconic actor who portrayed Luke Skywalker in the beloved 'Star Wars' franchise, has had a chance to weigh-in on a recent appearance by CNN's Jim Acosta. In his take, it seems that Jim Acosta brought a memorable Darth Vader impression during an interview.

During the conversation, Acosta made headlines with a hilarious Darth Vader-esque impersonation of his CNN colleague, bringing a momentary pause in their discussion. Hamill, known for his extensive Star Wars experience and his ability to accurately capture the essence of characters from the franchise, was asked about whether he thought there could be an animated series that would delve into Luke Skywalker's backstory.

Hamill responded with humor when discussing Acosta's Darth Vader impression. He described it as "over-the-top," highlighting that while he found the character impression amusing at first, it may have detracted from the main conversation.

While Hamill offered his support for a spinoff series focusing on Luke Skywalker, there hasn't been any official word regarding such an initiative yet.

As is often the case with 'Star Wars' rumors and discussions, nothing has been officially confirmed regarding this possibility at this point. Nonetheless, Mark Hamill's thoughtful insight into his famous character could potentially pave the way for future animated series that explore Luke Skywalker's adventures before joining forces with the Rebel Alliance.
 
Just had to watch Jim Acosta's Darth Vader impression and I'm dead 😂👀 it was literally over-the-top like Mark Hamill said lol! Would love to see a Luke Skywalker animated series tho, think it could be so cool 🤖📺.
 
omg what if jim acosta had a career in acting lol i feel like he would be great as a villain 🤣 anyway mark hamill is so cool and i love how he roasted acosta about his darth vader impression it was pretty funny 😂 but seriously luke skywalker backstory could be really interesting maybe they should make an animated series out of that or what do u think 🤔
 
I think it's pretty funny how Jim Acosta brought the funny vibes 🤣! I mean, who wouldn't want to see Darth Vader impersonated by a CNN colleague? 😂 It was like something out of a Star Wars parody movie. But seriously, Mark Hamill's got some great insight on Luke Skywalker's backstory, and if they do make an animated series about it, I'd be all in 🤩! Maybe we'll get to see more of young Luke's adventures before he became the legendary Jedi. That would be awesome 👏! Let's keep our fingers crossed for a new 'Star Wars' spinoff, maybe soon 🚀? #LukeSkywalker #StarWarsAnimatedSeries #TheForceBeWithIt
 
Wow 😂, Jim Acosta is a genius 🤣. Bringing Darth Vader to life like that in the middle of an interview? That's some serious acting skills 💥! Interesting how Mark Hamill responded to it too, kinda like how I react when my friends do crazy dance moves at parties 🎉. Can't wait for a Luke Skywalker animated series, though! Maybe we'll get to see more of his adventures before the original trilogy 🚀.
 
omg this is so cool! i would totes watch an animated luke skywalker series it would be like a whole new adventure 🤩🚀 Mark Hamill is the best and i love how he just laughed off Jim Acosta's Darth Vader impression lol 😂 the more i think about it, the more excited i get for this potential spinoff!!! 💥
