With the imminent release of Spider-Man: Far From Home on 2nd July, the press machine is in full flow and so it’s no surprise that – after the hilarious LEGO Death Star moment in Spider-Man: Homecoming – there is another.
Mike Ryan over at Uproxx looks at how Star Wars was almost a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
I spoke to Tom Holland. This was fun. But, sorry folks, he’s just not into Star Wars. Also, he explains how Robert Downey Jr. has become his mentor in real life. https://t.co/y8pt1m6bQ5

And prepare yourselves – young Tom hasn’t seen The Empire Strikes Back yet.
I saw this made headlines again a couple of weeks ago — people are going to keep asking you about The Empire Strikes Back until you actually see it.
Yeah, I know. Still haven’t seen it, though.
You’re going to get asked every time.
People hate it when I say this, but I’m just really not a Star Wars fan.
Peter has Darth Vader’s TIE-Fighter in his bedroom.
That’s correct, yeah.
And he has He-Man figures.
I’ve got He-Man figures. There was a scene that was cut from the film where Peter Parker went and sold all his toys to get the money in order to buy MJ a present…
Oh wow, I hope this is on the Blu-ray.
And one of the toys, it was Kevin Feige, he said, “I need this toy to be in there.” I forget what it’s called, but it’s a really niche Star Wars character and then I end up not selling that toy.
Is it a rare Star Wars action figure? Maybe Yak Face?
I don’t know if it was a rare one, I just know that it was just not one of the mainstream ones. [Ed. note: We reached out to Kevin Feige and he confirmed that the action figure Peter wouldn’t sell was Lobot.]
