Mark Hamill, the actor who played Luke Skywalker in the iconic 'Star Wars' franchise, recently appeared on CNN's Jim Acosta to discuss a potential spinoff series centered around his legendary character. The conversation began when Acosta asked Hamill about his thoughts on a possible 'Star Wars' series featuring a different character - in this case, one of his own.
Hamill revealed that he was initially hesitant about the idea, but ultimately expressed enthusiasm for the possibility. However, during their conversation, he was interrupted by an unexpected guest - CNN's Jim Acosta himself, dressed as Darth Vader, a character played by Hamill in 'Star Wars'.
Acosta's performance caught everyone off guard, including Hamill, who couldn't help but laugh at his colleague's hilarious take on the iconic villain. "I thought you were the one playing Luke Skywalker!" Hamill joked.
The lighthearted moment marked an interesting twist in what could have been a serious discussion about 'Star Wars' spinoffs. Despite the interruption, both Acosta and Hamill seemed to enjoy themselves and were able to share their thoughts on the potential series with humor and ease.
In recent years, 'Star Wars' has seen numerous spinoffs, including films like 'Solo: A Star Wars Story' and television shows such as 'The Mandalorian'. With a vast universe at its disposal, fans are eager to see more stories and characters come to life. Hamill's comments suggest that he may be open to exploring other aspects of the 'Star Wars' world beyond his own character.
While no official announcements have been made regarding a new 'Star Wars' series centered around Luke Skywalker or another character, fans remain hopeful that future developments will bring more exciting stories to the iconic franchise.

imagine acosta as darth vader, i was dying laughing 
mark hamill seems like a great sport about it though, nice to see him take it in stride and even joke around with acosta. personally, i think a luke skywalker series could be cool, maybe explore his adventures before or after the original trilogy 
would love to see more of that universe explored. but hey, only time will tell if anything actually happens 
The fact that Hamill couldn't keep a straight face is proof that even the most iconic franchises need a little bit of humor and humility. And can we talk about how impressive it was to pull off a 1-on-1 interview with an unexpected guest? It's like they raided the props department and went, "You know what would be funny?" 
. Like, who shows up as Darth Vader in the middle of a convo? 
It's so ridiculous and hilarious at the same time! I was genuinely surprised when that happened. I think it's awesome how both Acosta and Hamill just rolled with it and turned the conversation into something fun 
. I'm also kinda intrigued by the idea of a Luke Skywalker series – would be dope to see more of his character's story 
!
. Can't wait to see what's next! 
. Can you imagine a whole series centered around Luke's adventures? 
The possibilities are endless! 
Let's hope this spinoff happens soon and we get to see more of our favorite characters in new stories 
. On a serious note, it's awesome that Mark Hamill and Acosta were able to poke fun at themselves and keep the conversation light. It shows that even in a potentially boring topic like spinoffs, you can still find ways to make it entertaining. Fingers crossed that we'll get more news about this Luke Skywalker series soon... maybe with a few more laughs 
i'm all for more star wars content btw 
even if it was an awkward interruption 
what's next? a Jimmy Fallon-style "Weird Al" Yankovic appearance on the show? 
. But what's up with Jim Acosta dressed as Darth Vader during their convo? 
️! It was like something straight out of an old Star Wars parody movie 
. Anyway, it's awesome that Mark and Jim had a good laugh about it and kept the mood light 
. Now we just gotta wait and see if anything actually happens with this Luke Skywalker series... maybe? 
.
. They'll probably cast some young whippersnapper to play Luke and expect us all to forget that Mark Hamill was the OG Luke Skywalker. It's just not gonna happen
