He’s always good for a quote and a celebrity rock story, and now Noel Gallagher, he of the High Flying Birds, chats with Jamie Stangroom over at StarWars.com about his long-time admiration for the galaxy far, far away.
StarWars.com: What is it about these films that keep you caring all of these years later?
Noel Gallagher: It’s like all of the great things in all of artistic culture. They all deal in universal truths. There’s good versus evil — all the bad guys wear black, the good guys are all quite colorful, and the good guys win in the end, although they leave it open. That’s universal, man! In the very first Star Wars, Princess Leia is the girl in the tower, Luke Skywalker is the knight on the steed, and that steed is the Millennium Falcon, and he goes to rescue the girl. Throw in a few lightsabers and you’re quids in! It just is, that’s what it is.
