There is no doubt in hearing this moving speech, the two men are as friends and accomplices in real life as they are on screen! A real alchemy and a sincere love bind these actorsbeyond the incredible experience they had on the set of Star Wars.
A friend who would later cut off both my legs and leave me for dead on the side of a volcano. […] My friend, Ewan, I want to thank you for being the best Jedi Master one could hope for. I love you, my brother.
A beautiful declaration of love, which we have no doubt will move fans of Star Wars who read us!
