Brie Larson, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and more celebrities aren’t afraid to nerd out when it comes to loving Star Wars.
Though Larson’s professional loyalty lies with the Marvel franchise, George Lucas‘ space operas have always held a special place in her heart. When preparing to film the heart-wrenching movie Room, she knew just how to earn her young costar Jacob Tremblay’s trust.
“I asked him some questions about Star Wars,” she told Yahoo Movies in October 2015. “And once he knew that I could talk shop regarding Star Wars, then it was easy.”
Like the Oscar winner, many celebrities have a lifelong connection to the sci-fi franchise. Kevin Smith has frequently made his love for Star Wars clear — and even got choked up when visiting J.J. Abrams on the set of The Force Awakens in June 2014.
“I signed the NDA so all I can share are this old Bantha-Tracks subscriber’s tears and snotty nose of joy,” he wrote at the time, posting a tearful selfie on Instagram. “The Force is WITH this movie. Holy Sith…”

The Jay and Silent Bob star shared a teary-eyed selfie after paying a visit to the set of The Force Awakens in June 2014. “I signed the NDA so all I can share are this old Bantha-Tracks subscriber’s tears and snotty nose of joy,” he wrote. “The Force is WITH this movie. Holy Sith…”
According to her memoir, Bossypants, Fey spent a lot of time playing with Star Wars action figures in her very own “Tattooine” as a child. She later brought her love for the films to 30 Rock, when her character (Liz Lemon) dressed up as Princess Leia to get out of jury duty.
When the original Star Wars movie hit theaters in 1977, then-8-year-old Pegg was enchanted. “I was the exact demographic for that film,” he told the Guardian in October 2010. “I was a f–king 1m-high target, and it got me right through the eyes. I can mark out my life from that point in terms of my relationship with that film.” He later made a small cameo in 2015’s The Force Awakens.
The How I Met Your Mother alum took his love for the series to the next level with an elaborate family Halloween costume in 2015. Harris embodied Obi-Wan Kenobi, while husband David Burtka attempted his best Han Solo. Their twins, Harper and Gideon, dressed as Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker.
“The Force is strong in this household,” the Avatar star wrote via Instagram in December 2015 ahead of the seventh movie’s release. Saldana, husband Marco Perego, and their children, Aridio and Asalia, all rocked Star Wars-themed socks.
The Hart of Dixie actress was joined by her costars at the “best baby shower ever” in August 2013. A source told Us Weekly at the time that King and her guests enjoyed Star Wars-themed cake, topped with replicas of the expectant parents as iconic characters from the series.
“Had an amazing night with my Star Wars team at the @mastersgrandslam charity class benefitting #rideon,” the Big Bang Theory alum gushed in October 2015, showing off her Jedi skills with a blue lightsaber. She was joined by a full group of fans dressed as Chewbacca, Han Solo and every character in between.
The Harry Potter alum crashed the set of The Force Awakens in London while they were filming in 2014 — and was sworn to secrecy about what he saw. “I had a conversation with Harrison Ford, which was really, really cool,” he told Conan O’Brien later that year, buzzing with excitement. “It may have been on the Millennium Falcon, which was also really cool.” The following year, he admitted that he planned to see the film dressed as a Wookie.
Star Wars has always been a major part of Larson’s life — and it was exactly what strengthened her bond with Room costar Jacob Tremblay. “We went to a pizza parlor and he had these little Star Wars Lego figurines and I asked him some questions about Star Wars,” she told Yahoo Movies in October 2015. “And once he knew that I could talk shop regarding Star Wars, then it was easy.”
