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

Mark Hamill, the iconic actor who played Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise, had a hilarious encounter with CNN's Jim Acosta recently. During an impromptu conversation, Jim attempted to channel Mark's character by donning a Darth Vader mask and posing as the infamous villain.

Hamill couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight of his doppelganger in the iconic black suit, complete with helmet and breathing sound effects. "You're doing that really well," Hamill chuckled, clearly amused by Acosta's antics.

As Jim struggled to maintain a straight face under the mask, Mark couldn't resist poking fun at him, jokingly asking if he had forgotten his lightsaber. The lighthearted exchange left both men in stitches and provided an entertaining glimpse into the camaraderie between two beloved figures from the world of entertainment.

The brief but amusing encounter highlights the playful nature of Mark Hamill, a man known for his wit and sense of humor. Despite being a legendary figure from one of the most iconic film franchises of all time, he remains humble and willing to poke fun at himself – or in this case, someone trying to impersonate him.

😂 I don’t usually comment but... what's up with Jim Acosta wearing that Darth Vader mask?

The laughs will probably wear off after a minute and we'll all be left wondering if Jim was really that funny in the first place... 🤔
