Jim Acosta Busts Out His Yoda Voice While Interviewing Mark Hamill About Ukraine

As the interview was wrapping up, Acosta thanked Hamill for indulging him and his “fanboi questions.”

“I don’t mind,” said Hamill. “May the Force be with you, Jim.”

After recovering from that gift, Acosta returned once more to the subject of Ukraine and Hamill’s efforts with the drones. Hamill gave another quick outline and reminded viewers to visit U24.gov.ua/dronation to help.

As Acosta was thanking his guest again, he added, “I was tempted, I almost busted out my Yoda impersonation today. I’m not — maybe we’ll do it another time if you’ll come back.”

“Oh, I’d love to hear it,” said Hamill. “I noticed you, your tweet yesterday was in Yoda-speak.”

Acosta said he wanted to tell Russian Vladimir Putin something.

“That is why you failed,” he said in his Yoda voice, getting the quote almost right.

“Very good!” said Hamill with a laugh and some applause. “Very impressed!”

“My apologies to Frank Oz and to all of our viewers for me doing that there,” said Acosta. “Mark Hamill, thanks so much for your time. I’m probably going to get a call after this segment’s over.”
