During a chat with The Hollywood Reporter to promote the upcoming film “Amsterdam,” Christian Bale touched on a variety of topics. He even expressed his interest in joining the “Star Wars” franchise, revealing that he’s wanted to pop up in a galaxy far, far away for some time now. There doesn’t seem to be a reason why he couldn’t, either, seeing as he doesn’t necessarily want to take on an overly-important role. “All I ever wanted in ‘Star Wars’ was to be in a ‘Star Wars’ outfit and hit my head on a door or something as I walked through,” he told the publication, referencing an infamous “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope” moment.
In a classic scene from the film, a group of Imperial stormtroopers walks through a door, and one of them bumps their head on the way in. It has since become one of the most well-known flubs in movie history and one that Bale would love to recreate in a future “Star Wars” project. Then again, he’d be more than happy to do something more if such an offer came his way. “If I’m fortunate enough to be more than that, oh man, yeah. What a delight that would be,” he added, mentioning that he’s still close with Lucasfilm figurehead Kathleen Kennedy, so he has connections.
Hopefully, one day Christian Bale will make his “Star Wars” debut, and if he hits his head on the way in, fingers crossed he’s wearing head protection.
