"It's not a fanatical thing. I'm really pleased I'm part of the legacy of it and happy to see it and I've seen the trailer and it looks like they've absolutely nailed it."
"I'm not sure about the hilt on the lightsaber. If you fight with a lightsaber properly you don't need one."
"I'd be happy to do the story from episodes three where I finish up and Alec Guinness starts."
The widely reknowned actor whom is set to feature with Star Wars co-star Natalie Portman in his next movie, western Jane Got A Gun, also commented on his childhood experiences, watching his uncle Denis Lawson play X-Wing pilot Wedge Antilles in the legendary original trilogy...
"I remember going to see him in Star Wars in my shorts and red socks when my mum picked us up from school. I was six and it blew my brains out and that was it. I remember saying of Denis when I was nine I want to be an actor."
