She kept saying, ‘Google this.
What does Darth Vader look like under his mask?'”
Weisz continued, “She wants to know everything, and she’s obsessed with mythology.
I said to him, to her dad, ‘I think this is too much for her.
It’s too intense.’
So he decided to tell her thatStar Warsis broken.”
Yes, it’s broken in New York, too, Weisz told her.
The actress said Craig even shared with their daughter the scene from 2015’sThe Force Awakensthat featured him.
“I said to Ben, ‘Part for me?’
And he was like, ‘Are you serious?'”
“I was like, ‘Yeah.’
And he went, ‘I’ll go ask J.J [Abrams].’
And he came back and said, ‘Yeah.'”
It was more than he bargained for, though.
“Thing was, I thought background Stormtrooper,” he said.
Then I was in a whole f—ing scene."
Craig continued, “I was like, ‘Okay!’
Then I had to spend like three hours with J.J. on a looping session doing all the dialogues.
Like, ‘Really, you want me to do this?
Get someone else to do this!'”
