Leonardo DiCaprio in ‘The Revenant’ (Twentieth Century Fox)
Long, long ago in a Hollywood far, far away, Leonardo DiCaprio came close to wielding a lightsaber as Jedi-gone-bad, Anakin Skywalker. Back in 2000, reports cited the then-26 year old actor as George Lucas’s preferred candidate to play Luke’s dad in the yet-to-be titled Episode II. But the franchise-wary DiCaprio ultimately declined the opportunity to tell Natalie Portman why she’s so much better than sand. “[I] just didn’t feel ready to take the dive,” he later remarked in interviews.
Sound familiar yet? Early on in Empire, Han Solo uses the same method to protect an injured Luke Skywalker from the intense cold of the ice planet, Hoth. Having survived an almost-fatal Wampa attack — Hoth’s answer to a bear — Luke is stranded in the snow, when he’s visited by a blue-tinted vision of his former Force tutor, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Just as he passes out, Han Solo shows up riding a Tauntaun — Hoth’s answer to a horse. The Tauntaun promptly keels over dead from the cold.
