Ian McDiarmid made this admission during the 40 Years Of Star Wars Panel we attended at Star Wars Celebration, which is being held in Orlando, Florida, and, as its title suggests, is currently celebrating all things Star Wars.
The section in question featured plenty from Ian McDiarmid and Hayden Christiansen, but make sure that you stay glued to Cinema Blend over the next few days for further revelations from Star Wars Celebration.
This will include numerous revelations from Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which will emerge when its panel is held at 11 a.m. ET on Friday April 14.
As well as being hosted by Warwick Davis, the panel also included George Lucas, Kathleen Kennedy, Harrison Ford, Billy Dee Williams, Mark Hamill, Peter Mayhew, and Antony Daniels, as well as a touching tribute to Carrie Fisher, and John Williams playing music from the film with a full live orchestra.
