The actor who played the head-banging Stormtrooper in the original Star Wars movie speaks out on the infamous blooper.
Today marks the 40th anniversary of George Lucas’ original film (which has since been retitled Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope).
Case in point, one of the most highlighted moments from J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens was the one Stormtrooper who yelled, “Traitor!,” and attacked Finn.
To coincide with the 40th anniversary of George Lucas’ original Star Wars film, THR tracked down the actor who played the infamous Stormtrooper, Laurie Goode, to discuss how that scene came to be, and how it ended up in the final cut of the film.
