... I mean, who knew he had it in him? But what I found even more impressive was Mark Hamill's willingness to poke fun at himself and play along. It just goes to show that sometimes the best way to laugh is to not take yourself too seriously 
. And you know what they say about being a good impersonator - you gotta be willing to get inside someone else's skin! 
So, it's all about embracing your geeky side and having fun with it 
.
. The idea of a Luke Skywalker spinoff series is super intriguing, especially after the events of "The Empire Strikes Back" 
. I think Mark Hamill's dry wit and Jim Acosta's comedic timing would make for an awesome on-screen duo 
.
, and Hamill's reaction is priceless 
.
. And can we talk about how refreshing it is to see them just having fun with each other? No awkward small talk or forced laughter – just genuine geekiness and camaraderie 
. I wish more mainstream media did this stuff, you know? Less scripted and more relaxed 
. Anyway, I'm definitely looking forward to any potential Luke Skywalker spinoff series now 
Mark Hamill is killin' it too 
I mean who knew CNN could be so funny? 
It's like they're in on the Star Wars joke now 
That would be EPIC 
I mean, what's up with the lack of subtitles or closed captions during the interview? I couldn't even be sure if Jim Acosta was supposed to be in character for most of it 
. It's just a rehashing of his existing Star Wars content, but with some extra laughs thrown in. I wish they'd find new ways to monetize the platform...
it was so funny to see Hamill go from being all serious to cracking up like a lunatic 
his impersonation sounds spot on, i can almost imagine acosta towering over him as vader
