"Star Wars" Icon Mark Hamill Reacts to Jim Acosta's Darth Vader Impression, Calls It 'Brilliant'

In a recent video interview with CNN's Jim Acosta, Star Wars legend Mark Hamill shared his thoughts on a potential spinoff series centered around Luke Skywalker. However, the conversation took an unexpected turn when it came to Acosta's impression of Darth Vader.

Acosta, known for his sarcastic and humorous commentary on current events, attempted to channel his inner Darth Vader during their conversation. Hamill was not prepared for the unexpected impression and couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Brilliant!" he exclaimed, acknowledging Acosta's spot-on impression.

Hamill praised Acosta's ability to capture the iconic character's voice and mannerisms, saying it's a testament to the actor's impressive range and talent. The two actors geeked out over their shared love of Star Wars, with Hamill sharing behind-the-scenes stories from his time on set.

The lighthearted moment was a welcome respite from the usual intensity surrounding Star Wars news. It highlights Acosta's ability to use humor to connect with fans and bring people together through their shared passion for pop culture.

I gotta say, Mark Hamill is always good for a laugh! I love how Jim Acosta just went all in on that Darth Vader impression – it was like he actually stepped into the character's boots . As someone who's done their fair share of DIY projects and experiments at home, I've learned to appreciate the value of being able to think outside the box (or in this case, channel an iconic villain ). It's awesome that Mark Hamill was so impressed with Acosta's performance – it just goes to show that even when we're geeking out over our favorite fandoms, there's always room for a little bit of humor and fun .
