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

Mark Hamill, the actor who has brought iconic character Luke Skywalker to life in the "Star Wars" franchise, shared his thoughts on a potential spinoff series centered around the legendary Jedi Knight. During an interview with CNN's Jim Acosta, Hamill was visibly amused and even amused himself by the idea of a spinoff series featuring Darth Vader.

Acosta asked Hamill about the potential for a new "Star Wars" series focused on Luke Skywalker, but it wasn't until he saw Acosta donning a full-body Darth Vader costume that the conversation took an unexpected turn. The two quickly broke into laughter as they discussed what it would be like to play opposite each other in such a film.

Hamill expressed his enthusiasm for exploring this new character-driven storyline, citing the many untold stories of Luke's adventures throughout the galaxy far, far away. However, he also warned that "it's not going to be an easy road" due to the immense expectations and pressure associated with creating content within the beloved franchise.

The unlikely duo's lighthearted conversation was a welcome respite from the often-serious tone of the "Star Wars" universe, showcasing that even in the most iconic franchises, there is room for humor and fun.
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this idea of a Luke Skywalker spinoff 🤔. I mean, can you imagine anything more epic than exploring all the untold stories of his adventures? It's like they're gonna dig into some old VHS tapes of our childhood (remember those?) and see what's been hiding in the shadows for decades. And to think, Mark Hamill is on board - that guy's still got it! 😂 I just hope they can pull off making something as iconic as Darth Vader a comedic foil without feeling like they're mocking the character too much. Still, it sounds like a lot of fun and who wouldn't want to see Luke in a new light? Maybe this is the perfect excuse to rewatch all the old flicks (has anyone seen A New Hope on IMAX lately?) and get those nostalgia goggles back on 🎥💫
 
OMG, I'm low-key thrilled about this idea! 🤩 A Luke Skywalker spinoff series could be so epic! 👽 I mean, can you imagine Mark Hamill (or whoever plays Luke) rocking a new character-driven storyline? 🚀 The possibilities are endless! 💥 It'd be amazing to see more of Luke's adventures, especially since we've got some awesome hints from the original trilogy. 😎 And who knows, maybe we'll even get some behind-the-scenes humor with Darth Vader... 😂 I'm so here for it! 👏 Can't wait to see what this new series brings! 🚀 May the Force be with them 💫 #StarWars #LukeSkywalker #SpinoffSeries #DarthVader #MayTheForceBeWithYou
 
I'm not sure if they're serious about this but I think it's cool that Mark Hamill is open to exploring more of Luke's story. It would be awesome to see what happens when he's not saving the galaxy 🤔. I can already imagine him and Jim Acosta having a blast in a movie together 😂. Maybe we'll get to see some new side characters and unexpected plot twists. Fingers crossed it won't mess up the original story, though 👍
 
OMG, I'm literally dying over here 💀👽! A spinoff series featuring Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader would be EVERYTHING 🤩! Can you imagine seeing Mark Hamill and Jim Acosta bring those characters to life in a full-body costume 🤣? It's so cool that they had that laugh-out-loud moment, it just shows that even the most iconic franchises can still have fun 😂. I'm all for exploring new stories and adventures in the Star Wars universe - let's get creative! ✨💫
 
OMG, can you imagine Mark Hamill cracking up on CNN while wearing a Darth Vader suit? That's literally the best thing I've seen all week! 🤣 It's so refreshing to see two of the biggest names in Star Wars just having fun with each other, even if it was for a bit. I mean, who wouldn't want to see a Luke Skywalker-Darth Vader showdown on screen? The possibilities are endless!

But seriously though, if they're planning on doing a spinoff series centered around Luke, I'm all for it! There's still so much we don't know about that guy and his adventures in the galaxy. Just please, let's hope they can balance out the epicness of Star Wars with some actual character development... no easy feat, right? 😊
 
I wonder if they'll make Luke a hero again or keep him as more of an anti-hero 🤔👊 I'm thinking it would be awesome to see some character development with his whole Jedi training thing... but at the same time, Darth Vader in a spinoff? 😂 That's just too funny! Can you imagine the special effects and costume for that?! 🎥💫 The pressure on the writers must be huge, though - they have to live up to all the love and nostalgia around Luke and Star Wars. Will they make it work or will it feel like a cash-grab? 🤑👀
 
omg i'm kinda hyped about this new spinoff series but let's keep things realistic here 🤔 we all know how hard it is to live up to the original trilogy so i hope they don't try to recreate epic battles that are just gonna be awkward with luke and vader on screen lol. but seriously, a new story focused on luke could be interesting especially since he's been kinda underutilized in recent films. maybe we'll get some insight into his backstory or his journey from padawan to legend 🚀💫
