Bring Back Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi Reunion

Channel 4 is getting ready to reunite the cast of the 80s hit Sci-Fi movie, return Of The Jedi.

Bring Back Star Wars will see comic Justin Lee Collins race around the US trying to get them to attend a reunion bash.

Top targets include Harrison Ford (Han Solo), Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) and Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker).






Mark Hamill Snubs Channel 4 Star Wars Reunion

Actor Mark Hamill has refused to take part in a Star Wars reunion show, because Channel 4 refused to pay him £25,000.

It was hoped that Hamill, who played the infamous Luke Skywalker in the original three Star Wars movies would agree to participate in the ‘Bring Back Star Wars’ show that is being fronted by comedian, Justin Lee Collins.

However, he wanted too much money, more than Channel 4 wanted to (or could afford to) pay. An insider told The Sun:

“There’s no way we’d pay Mark so much money. Fortunately Carrie [Princess Leia] is with us and is brilliant.”

Bring Back Star Wars: Carrie Fisher Opens Up About Harrison Ford Affair

Whilst filming for the Channel 4 special, Bring Back Star Wars, Carrie Fisher has opened up about her affair with Harrison Ford.

The pair had a fling whilst recording the first Star Wars movie and the actress, who played Princess Leia said: “I went on the film saying, ‘I’m going to have an affair’, like it was a kiwi, an exotic fruit - because I had never had one.

“I had a crush on Harrison for sure. Harrison is great fun when he’s had a few drinks.”

The 51-year-old added: “I’m going to get in so much trouble”, before revealing: “Once I left the room and came back and he was in the closet not wearing a lot of clothes.”
