26 years later, The Thursday Murder Club star Celia Imrie has revealed that she was told off by Star Wars creator George Lucas for embellishing her female starfighter character in The Phantom Menace, and we have to agree with her.
"My yellow aeroplane was on a stand. So I was sort of, you know, like those fairground ones. I was being rocked around all over the place and did a lot of diving in my goggles and everything, and looked very fierce and got told off by George Lucas for wearing lipstick," said Imrie in an interview with BAFTA. "But since I was the only lady pilot, I thought why not?" Why not indeed.
