25+ Times “Star Wars” Actors Gave Us a New Hope on “The Graham Norton Show”
Star Wars films hold the same level of popularity they had at first launch. We’ve developed a deep affection for the original trilogy’s leading trio: Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, and Harrison Ford. Equally, we have also come to appreciate the fresh faces introduced in the prequels, sequels and TV series associated with the franchise.
These actors are not only stars on the big screen, but they also make a splash on the popular red seating of The Graham Norton Show. You’ve got to see these funny chats with the crew from Star Wars.
So Uncivilized
Just like Obi-Wan Kenobi is committed to guarding the universe, Ewan McGregor too, in real life, usually defends his neighborhood. Once, a young gentleman zipped past Ewan’s car a bit too fast and in a fashion that was a little reckless. Surely, McGregor wasn’t about to let such behavior slide without addressing it. These actions directly parallel his on-screen character, who also valued safety and order.
Just picture it—you’re getting a lecture from Obi-Wan Kenobi himself! That has to be both the most exciting and the most nerve-wracking day for that young one.
In Our Thoughts
No matter if you were just eight years old or already 58 years old when Star Wars first burst onto the scene, Princess Leia unquestionably won over everyone’s heart. Her bravery and her unwavering courage were traits that everyone admired, but the memory of her golden bikini is indisputably one of the things that most people remember her by.
We honor the memory of the beloved Carrie Fisher and acknowledge her great ability. Regrettably, from the instant she showcased her talent on the cinema stage, the public had her on their minds incessantly—and not always in the manner she’d hope to think about.
Special Treatment
Samuel L. Jackson, a huge enthusiast of the Star Wars saga, had a wish to appear in one of its movies. Regardless of the size of the role, he was just excited about possibly being part of such a notable series. Interestingly enough, George Lucas, the movie director, gave him a major part. He was to play Mace Windu, a Jedi of incredible power, who was only surpassed by Yoda himself.
Believing he deserved it as the second in command of the galaxy, Jackson had a strong desire for a distinctive item – a purple lightsaber. And it’s known that when Jackson set his mind on something, he inevitably got it. So it was clear, Jackson was not about to settle for anything less than a purple lightsaber.
Spilling the Beans
Everyone knew that Carrie Fisher had a hard time keeping secrets to herself. So, when they were making “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”, the team had to be careful. They made sure to only share with her the information that was important for her role. This was done to make sure that no secrets about the movie would get out before it was the right time.
Nevertheless, the information that was shared with Fisher couldn’t stay hidden forever. Knowing she would inevitably appear on The Graham Norton Show, she felt compelled to spill every detail to him a full year earlier than planned.
