From The Godfather to the galaxy far, far away? That could have been Al Pacino's career trajectory, as the actor recently claimed that he was offered a role in the first Star Wars movie.
"I turned down Star Wars. When I first came up, I was the new kid on the block, you know what happens when you first become famous. It’s like, 'Give it to Al.' They’d give me Queen Elizabeth to play," Pacino said during a recent talk in New York City (via Variety). "They gave me a script called Star Wars… They offered me so much money. I don’t understand it. I read it… So I said I couldn’t do it. I gave Harrison Ford a career."
