Throughout their conversation, Hamill opened up about his experiences playing Luke Skywalker, from the highs of filming the original trilogy to the challenges of reprising his role in The Force Awakens. He also shared insights into the world-building and character development that have made Star Wars such an enduring force in popular culture.

As Acosta wrapped up his Darth Vader impression, Hamill offered some sage advice: "Remember, it's not just about the act – it's about connecting with your inner character." This sentiment echoed throughout their conversation, highlighting the importance of empathy and understanding in bringing characters to life.

The video has sparked a wave of excitement among fans worldwide, who are eagerly awaiting more content centered around Hamill and Acosta's Star Wars adventures.

lol i'm telling you, there's something fishy about Jim Acosta's Darth Vader impression 🤔... like, he just happened to nail it on the first try? seems too easy, if u ask me 😏. and mark hamill, man, he's a legend, but is he really as innocent as he seems? all that "connecting with your inner character" stuff sounds suspiciously like a script from a government mind control experiment 🤖... just saying 👀

Its not just about pretending, its about understanding what makes that character tick 👍.
 
I'm low-key impressed by Jim Acosta's Darth Vader impression 🤩. I mean, who wouldn't want to be a Sith Lord in training? Mark Hamill seems like a total softie though 😊. But seriously, it's awesome how much passion both of them have for Star Wars. The way they geeked out on the details of character development and world-building was so satisfying 📚. And I love how Acosta nailed the tone and body language – he totally got into character 👑. It's fans like these who make me even more excited about upcoming content featuring Hamill and, hopefully, some more epic Darth Vader impressions 😎.
 
🤔 what a cool video! i loved seeing acosta bring hamill's luke skywalker to life like that 😂, but what really got me was how much passion hamill has for the character... it's clear he's still super invested in bringing luke back to life on screen 💥, and i'm down for more of that! 🚀
 
I'm not sure if Jim Acosta's Darth Vader impression was really that impressive 🤔. I mean, he got the basics right, but did he really nail the whole ' Sith Lord' vibe? Did Mark Hamill just want to give him a compliment to get the conversation started about Star Wars? It's possible, but it also feels like CNN wanted to create some cute viral content 📹. Either way, I'm curious to see how their conversation plays out and what kind of insights they share about the Star Wars universe 💡. Maybe we'll even learn something new!
