Which "Star Wars" actor couldn't stop making lightsaber noises?
With the wealth of Star Wars content we have today, it’s easy to forget how scarce it once was. When the prequels were released, no matter what anyone said later, we all thought it was the greatest thing to ever happen in the history of cinema.
New Star Wars movies, from George Lucas himself, after 20 years of lawlessness in the galaxy. We stayed in line all night to get tickets to "The Phantom Menace" and we ate every second of it up. But there was one moment I remember to this day that still gives me chills: Darth Maul igniting the second side of his dual lightsaber.
Or the climactic duel between father and son as Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker’s sabers clash and tangle in "Return of the Jedi."
Lightsabers are for nerds what light is to moths. We see them and then we can’t look away. So we can empathize with this actor. Who had to be told by George Lucas himself to stop making lightsaber noises?
