mark hamill is literally a stan for jim acosta's darth vader impression lol but seriously its amazing how far we've come with our voices and impressions nowadays... remember when we were just kids and would make up our own star wars sound effects? 
now we're adults making the characters laugh in real life 
what's next, kevin hart as yoda?! 
Mark Hamill is totally a legend for appreciating Jim Acosta's Darth Vader impression - I mean, who wouldn't want to see their character emulated in such an epic way? 
The fact that fans are still going wild over the clip says a lot about the franchise's staying power - I'm 35 now, but I still get goosebumps thinking about my kid's first Star Wars movie night 
mark hamill is being so extra lol but seriously though it's crazy how much he nailed the breathing sound 
I mean, who knew he had that kind of talent? And Mark Hamill just gave him a seal of approval 
it's like Acosta really got into character 
. And can we talk about how this clip is bringing back so many memories for us old-school Star Wars fans? 
I'm loving every second of it 
.
, and it's amazing to see how even seasoned anchors can tap into their inner geek (in the best possible way). The fact that Mark Hamill was in stitches says a lot about Acosta's talent – it's not every day you see a legendary actor reduced to giggles by an on-the-fly impression 
. As for the broader implications, I think this clip highlights the enduring appeal of "Star Wars" as a cultural touchstone 
).
. I think what really gets me is how much this clip says about the Star Wars fandom - it's not just about the movies, it's about the characters and the sound effects that make 'em come alive 
.
. I was standing in front of this massive, ancient tree, and suddenly I'm surrounded by these flying creatures that looked like a mix between a hummingbird and a dragonfly... it was so surreal 
. Anyway, speaking of Star Wars, have you tried making your own lightsaber at home? My buddy's kid did it over the weekend and it was pretty cool 
, I wouldn't have even recognized it was him at first 
. Can you imagine if they did a live CNN broadcast and he just started channeling Vader mid-report? 
. It just goes to show that even as adults, we can still tap into our inner nerds and have some fun
