Domhnall Gleeson unveils his VERY impressive impersonation of Chewbacca

There is a lot of talk about crisps, too.

Did you know there was a new Star Wars movie out?

In case you leave under a snowy rock on Hoth, we’ve been talking about it a lot in the JOE offices, from our review, to our favourite scene, to the burning questions we were left with come the final credits.

We were lucky enough to sit down with some the cast, and in the video below you’ll see our chats with two of the movie’s biggest villains, played by Andy Serkis and Domhnall Gleeson.

In the lead-up to the release of the new Star Wars, we chatted to Domhnall about how difficult it must be to keep the plot secrets to himself, and his answers were… well… secretive.

He must be so relieved now that the movie is out, he can speak freely about the events of The Last Jedi, although he is now bound to secrecy about whatever might happen to his character in the upcoming Episode IX, which isn’t due out until December 2019. Good luck with that, Domhnall.

Anyways, here are our chats with the two amazing actors, which on top of Chewbacca impressions, also includes talk about the HR department within the Empire, and some stone-cold facts about the origins of cheese and onion flavoured crisps.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is in Irish cinemas right now.

Watch the trailer for the epic blockbuster below.
