Luke, Han, and Leia are Ancient in SNL's 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Spoof



How many fan made trailers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens have there been already? About a thousand in a little over a week? It's been the biggest topic of discussion ever since it debuted, so of course SNL was going to have some fun with it pointing out just how old everybody is.

James Franco plays a geriatric Luke Skywalker, Taran Killam is a hard-of-hearing Han Solo (his Harrison Ford impression isn't half bad), while Bobby Moynihan is Leia who can't figure out how to operate R2-D2. Frankly, I thought this was pretty weak by SNL standards, and this comes from someone who thinks the show hasn't been funny in years.

Check it out for yourself below, but I'll be watching the real thing.
