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

Star Wars legend Mark Hamill recently sat down with Jim Acosta on CNN to discuss his thoughts on a potential spinoff series centered around his iconic character Luke Skywalker.

He expressed excitement about the idea of delving deeper into Luke Skywalker's character and potentially creating new adventures for the legendary Jedi knight. The actor even offered some insight into what he thinks would be essential in any potential spinoff series, stating that it should prioritize character development and emotional depth.

The conversation also included a hilarious moment where Jim Acosta donned a Darth Vader costume and delivered an impressive – if not intimidating – impression of the infamous Sith Lord. Hamill was initially startled by Acosta's impersonation but ultimately found it endearing, saying "It's like you're trying to be my brother!" The lighthearted exchange showcased the strong bond between the two men and provided fans with a unique glimpse into their banter.

While there is no official word on a Luke Skywalker spinoff series just yet, Mark Hamill's enthusiasm for exploring new Star Wars stories suggests that the possibilities are endless. With his boundless energy and passion for the franchise, it's likely that any future projects would be met with excitement from fans worldwide.

I'm not surprised to see a Luke Skywalker spinoff in the works 🤔. Mark Hamill's passion for the character is genuine and has been evident throughout his career. The idea of delving deeper into Luke's emotional journey could lead to some really interesting stories. It's also great to see Jim Acosta bring some humor to the conversation 😂, even if he did scare poor Mark a bit! On a more serious note, if done right, this spinoff could be a great way to explore the Star Wars universe in new and creative ways 🚀. Fingers crossed it happens soon! 💕
 
I'm not buying the whole "it's like you're trying to be my brother" thing 🤣, sounds like a scripted line to me. I mean, Jim Acosta can't just go around saying he's Mark Hamill's bro in a live interview 😂. Still, it was cool to see him show off his Darth Vader skills 👊. A Luke Skywalker spinoff could be awesome if they focus on character development and emotional depth 🤔. No promises from me though 🙃
