- 6 years ago
Thandie Newton had to "take a moment" when she first saw Chewbacca on the set of 'Solo: A Star Wars Story'.
The 45-year-old actress portrays Val Beckett in the sci-fi prequel alongside Alden Ehrenreich as a young incarnation of the space smuggler from the original trilogy and Joonas Suotamo as his Wookiee sidekick.
Thandie has long been a fan of the franchise and she admits when she laid eyes on Chewie "sat there in his full regalia" she got over-excited about being becoming part of saga.
In an interview on UK TV show 'This Morning', she said: "I had to take a moment, I had to take 60 seconds before we started filming the scene."
Let the force be with you Thandie !
