Hollywood actor Denis Lawson has turned down the chance
to appear in the new Star Wars films because they would
have "bored him".
The Crieff-born star said he had been approached by
Disney, which bought Lucasfilm in 2012, but turned them
down.
The 66-year-old played X-wing pilot Wedge Antilles in
all three films of the original trilogy. In 2001, he
provided the voiceover for the character¹s appearance
in a Nintendo computer game.
Lawson made the revelation at a screening of his most
recent film, The Machine, at Strathearn Artspace in his
home town.
When asked if the next new Denis Lawson film to be
screened there would be Star Wars, he replied: "I'm not
going to do that."
Asked if it was because Disney had taken over the
franchise, he replied: "They asked me but it just would
have bored me."
