Ok, so maybe that headline quote pull is a tad dramatic (and wildly out of context), but in a story packed full of highlights, one stands out – Rachel Weisz has never seen Star Wars. An actress who is surerly on the radar of the great and good at Lucasfilm as a potential future talent hire, given her Academy credentials and fan following, she admits to Stephen Colbert that she’s never seen anything from the galaxy far, far away (not even her husband Daniel Craig’s cameo in The Force Awakens?) and also owns up to ‘breaking Star Wars‘. Read on….

“Daniel and our daughter had been watching Star Wars,” Weisz told Stephen Colbert during a recent appearance on The Late Show. “It was like a father-daughter bonding experience, and they started on the original ones. My daughter got obsessed. She kept saying, ‘Google this. 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 that Star Wars is broken.”

The incident occurred in London, and when the family landed in New York, Weisz’s daughter asked, “Is Star Wars broken in New York, too?”
