Despite there being hundreds of actors out there who would literally kill to land a role in J.J. Abrams' Star Wars Episode VII, Denis Lawson, now sixty-six years old, claims that he actually turned down a role. Many Star Wars fans will know him for his role as Wedge Antilles, even though he isn't a very popular character from the original trilogy, so it is hard to believe him when he says that he got the call from the studio to return as Luke Skywalker's friend. But it is popular that they may have wanted to reunite as many people as possible from the original trilogy to make hardcore fans all giddy inside. "I'm not going to do that," he said when asked by The Courier if he'd return. "They asked me but it just would have bored me." Bored? HA. He actually said a while ago in an interview with Scotsman that he knows how "it's interesting to other people but I get really bored talking about it." It makes sense that he turned down the chance considering the fact that he never really liked the movie. He joins the small group people that don't like Star Wars.
Original Trilogy stars Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, and Peter Mayhew will unite with a completely new cast for the currently untitled Star Wars Episode VII, including John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Max von Sydow, and Andy Serkis. The movie will hit theaters December 18, 2015.

You don't know who I am? Well sit back because my story is a beautiful tale of power and integrity, a captivating experience and ingenious story.
When I was sent to prison for a crime I didn't commit, I signed up for the weapon X program where I got some acid stuff in my eye which caused me to go blind except for whenever I shout the word, "SHAZAM." I was part of Project: Rebirth and given an indestructible shield, however I had gotten bitten by a radioactive spider which caused my father Odin to banish me from my home, only for both my parents to get shot in an alley. And to top it all off, I was exposed to gamma radiation when my mother died and I was abducted from Earth by a strange blue-skinned alien, which gave me the ability to teleport, shapeshift, read minds, and squirt milk from my nose.
