Mark Hamill, the actor who brought legendary character Luke Skywalker to life in the iconic "Star Wars" franchise, has been left starstruck by a unique tribute from CNN's Jim Acosta.

Acosta recently paid homage to Star Wars fans everywhere, channeling his inner Darth Vader with an impressive costume and lightsaber impression. Hamill couldn't resist sharing his thoughts on this unexpected display of fandom.

"I was blown away," said Hamill in the conversation with Jim Acosta, visibly stunned. "I mean, who expects to see Darth Vader up close like that? It's incredible."

This impromptu meeting highlights the enduring appeal of Star Wars and its impact on fans worldwide. Mark Hamill shared his favorite memories from the making of the original trilogy and discussed potential spinoffs based on Luke Skywalker.

"I think it would be fantastic," said Hamill, "to see a series that delves into Luke's journey after Return of the Jedi."
 
come on 🤔, Jim Acosta thinks he can just show up in a Darth Vader costume and blow Mark Hamill's mind? 😂 i mean, i get it, Star Wars is iconic, but this is just fans being extra 💁‍♀️. also, what's with the lack of planning? couldn't they have at least scripted some conversation for this impromptu meetup 🤷‍♂️? hamill's just going to say whatever he thinks they want him to say to make Jim Acosta feel good 😊. and what's the deal with all these spinoff ideas? didn't we already see enough of Luke's journey in the original trilogy? 🤔
 
🤯 I'm loving this level of fandom right now! 🚀 Mark Hamill has to be one of the most iconic characters in movie history and Jim Acosta totally nailed it with his Darth Vader costume 😂. It's amazing how these things can bring people together - like, who wouldn't want to see a lightsaber duel between a CNN anchor and a legend like Luke Skywalker? 💫 The fact that Mark Hamill was starstruck by the tribute is just proof that the Star Wars universe has an endless appeal 🚀.
 
I don't get why people are so obsessed with Star Wars 🤷‍♂️. I mean, it's just a bunch of guys in spacesuits fighting each other. I'm not saying it's not iconic or anything, but come on... Darth Vader dressing up like himself? That's just weird 😂. And what's next? A tribute to the cast of The Office showing up as their characters from high school? 🤣. But seriously, I guess it's cool that Mark Hamill is a fan too and he got to hang out with Jim Acosta. Maybe we should all take a step back and appreciate the little things in life instead of chasing after some overhyped fandoms 🙃.
 
I gotta say, Jim Acosta totally killed the Darth Vader costume game 🤖👊. I mean, who wouldn't want to channel their inner Dark Lord? It's awesome to see people still passionate about Star Wars like that! 😍 And can you imagine being in a room with Mark Hamill and just geeking out over Luke Skywalker? 💫 He sounds so down-to-earth too, it's great to see celebrities being all relatable and stuff. I'm actually kinda curious now about this potential Luke Skywalker spinoff series... if they do it right, could be epic! 🎥
 
🤔 I mean, what's next? Is everyone gonna show up to work in their favorite cosplay outfit? Acosta's just trying to get views on CNN and it worked, but come on, dude. He's a journalist not some cosplayer at Comic-Con 🙄. And Hamill's all starstruck because of it? Give me a break. It's just Jim being Jim...or rather, Darth Jim 😂. Mark, you've been in the game a while, surely you know there's more to life than wearing a costume and waving a lightsaber around 🤪.
 
I love how Jim Acosta totally went all in with the Darth Vader costume 🤣👽, it's so cool to see fans like him still passionate about Star Wars. I remember when I was younger, my friends and I would stay up all night watching the original trilogy, trying to imagine what it would be like to be Luke Skywalker or Han Solo 🚀💫. It's awesome that Mark Hamill is still into it too, and I'm curious to see what kind of spinoffs come out next... maybe one where Luke becomes a Jedi Master? 🔮💫
 
OMG, can you believe this? 😱 Mark Hamill is literally starstruck by Jim Acosta's Darth Vader impression?! I mean, yeah, who wouldn't be though? It's a once-in-a-lifetime moment, right? 🤩 But what's really cool is how it shows the enduring power of Star Wars. The franchise has been around for decades and still manages to bring people together like that.

I'm loving the idea of a Luke Skywalker spinoff series tho... 🚀 I think it would be so sick to see more of his journey after Return of the Jedi. Maybe we could even get some insight into what made him go from hero to, you know, somewhat villainous 😏. Anyway, kudos to Jim Acosta for bringing the force (pun intended) and showing the world that Star Wars fans are still passionate about it.

It's also awesome to see Mark Hamill so enthusiastic about it... he's literally beaming with excitement 🌟. The fan culture surrounding Star Wars is just incredible, and moments like this prove why we all love it so much. 💥
 
omg I was at this con last year & I saw the same dude cosplaying as Vader & he totally nailed the voice 😂👏. I think it's awesome how fans can inspire each other like that! As for a Luke Skywalker series, I'm all for it 🤔. We need more stories about his journey after the Empire's demise 💫. I wonder if they'll explore his time as a Jedi Master or his connection to the Force...
 
I'm loving this tribute to Star Wars fans! I mean, who wouldn't want to see Darth Vader in all his intimidating glory? 🤖 It's awesome that Jim Acosta paid such a thoughtful and creative gesture. Mark Hamill's reaction is priceless too - it's like he was transported back to the set of Star Wars all over again! 😍 The fact that this stunt highlights the franchise's lasting impact on fans is really heartening. I'm also intrigued by Mark's idea for a Luke Skywalker series - I'd totally watch that! 👀
 
OMG you know what really struck me about this? It's not just about Mark Hamill being starstruck by Jim Acosta's Darth Vader cosplay but also how it shows us the power of fandom 🤯. I mean, who wouldn't want to see their favorite characters come to life like that?! It's all about embracing our passions and sharing them with others 💖.

For me, this is a reminder to not be afraid to geek out (in the best way possible 😎) and show the world how much we love something. And also, it's really cool to see people from different walks of life connect over their shared love for Star Wars 🤝. It just goes to show that fandom can bring us all together in the most amazing ways! 💫
 
idk how old mark hamill is rn but i'm low-key impressed by jim acosta's cosplay skills lol. who knew he had such range? anyway, it's heartwarming to see fans still excited about star wars like 40 yrs after the original trilogy came out 🤖💫. as for a luke skywalker spinoff, i think it's not a bad idea but we gotta be realistic about it, maybe just a mini series or something? not sure if they can recapture the magic of the originals 😐
 
omg can u believe jim acosta went full darth vader 🤣 i'm so down for another star wars spinoff esp one that focuses on luke's journey after return of the jedi would love to see more about his growth as a hero 👊 also, mark hamill is literally the coolest and i'm such a huge fan of him 😎 it's amazing how star wars has this kind of effect on people even all these years later 💫
 
OMG, I'm loving this! 🤩 Mark Hamill is literally starstruck by Jim Acosta's epic Darth Vader cosplay 😂 and I'm here for it! It just goes to show how much Star Wars means to fans worldwide - we're still repping our favorite characters even after all these years!

I gotta say, I'd totally watch a Luke Skywalker spinoff series too... maybe one that explores his journey as a hero after the original trilogy? That would be SO cool! 💫
 
lol what's up with all these costumed fans? I mean, I love Star Wars as much as the next guy, but can't we just stick to rewatching the movies without dressing up like our fave characters? 🤔 It's just so...extra. And Jim Acosta thinking he's Darth Vader with a lightsaber? dude, that's just weird.

I'm low-key obsessed with this news 🤯. I mean, can you imagine walking into a meeting and seeing Darth Vader chillin' right in front of you? It's like something out of a Star Wars fanfic 📚. And Mark Hamill is just so down-to-earth about it too, it's adorable 😊. What's crazy is how this small act of fandom can bring people together across the years and franchises. I'm all for exploring more Luke Skywalker stories - who wouldn't want to see what happens next in his journey? Maybe a new series or even a movie? The possibilities are endless 🎥. This just proves that Star Wars still has it where it counts, and its fans will always be passionate about it 💫.
