The interview eventually lead to Kevin Smith asking Morano about the recent rumors of her potentially directing an upcoming Star Wars film. The rumors started after Morano had a sit down meeting with Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy.
Morano denied the rumors saying, “No, I think it was just a speculation of some kind.” But before she could elaborate Peter Dinklage interrupts her with a chorus of droid beeps. Then he says, “Oh gosh, I’m auditioning.”
Elle Fanning then chimes in asking whether or Star Wars was the one with lightsabers. She then mixes up Star Wars and Star Trek by showing off the iconic Vulcan salute made famous by Leonard Nimoy’s Spock.
Moran then finally elaborates on her meeting with Kathleen Kennedy. “I was lucky enough to have a meeting with Kathy Kennedy, who is the loveliest human being.” Dinklage then interrupts again, “Wait, are you doing Star Wars?” Morano denies she’s working on the project again, “No, I’m not. Will you stop adding fuel to the rumors. It’s just a meeting. And that’s all I can say.”
Then Dinklage expresses his interest in a Star Wars role saying, “I just want a part!”
