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.
