If you look right back to the earliest behind the scenes videos from the making of the original Star Wars you will clearly see such GFFA luminaries as Harrison Ford making the pew-pew noises when they shoot their blasters. Hayden Christensen couldn’t resist making the lightsaber noise while filming Attack of the Clones, so Laura Dern can certainly be forgiven for continuing this grand old Star Wars tradition.
Actress Laura Dern, who plays Vice-Admiral Amilyn Holdo in “The Last Jedi,” couldn’t resist making the age-old kid sound of “Pew! Pew!” while filming shooting scenes for the movie.
This wasn’t exactly breaking news. Dern herself admitted it to Stephen Colbert back when she appeared on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” in August, long before “Last Jedi” even came out.
“I’m gonna tell you the most embarrassing story,” she told Colbert. “There is a moment where I get to have a space weapon in my hand, and I guess that I didn’t realize that I [I was imagining I] was back in my bedroom at eight years old, doing the scene. And I went, ‘Pew! Pew!’ as I was [firing].”
