Star Wars Episode 7 casting rumors now link Amy Poehler and Tina Fey in the latest update about the highly anticipated sci-fi sequel from Disney.
Both stars who are alums of "Saturday Night Live" seems to be getting the time of their lives as they are not just about to host Golden Globes for the second year in a row, producing a number of shows for different networks, serving the guest editors of the newest issue of Entertainment Weekly, they are also about to join the forces of the biggest sci-fi movie in the planet?
Star Wars Episode 7 Casting Rumors: Samuel L Jackson, Mark Hamill & Ewan McGregor Out Of The Picture
The 30 Rock creator and actress and Parks and Recreation star revealed that they wanted to work together in a drama. "We want to play Siamese twin judges on a law procedural," Tina Fey revealed. "Our condition does not get in the way of our judgment," Poehler added. "And that's what the show's about: Even though we're bound together, we're not bound to each other's ideals." Fey replied: "One of us is very conservative and the other is a recovering alcoholic, so it makes for great drama."
However, revealing to Entertainment Weekly that they have landed a role in J.J. Abrams Star Wars Episode 7 movie as Darth Vader's mothers, made their eyes sparkled like a Christmas light hanging on the Christmas tree.
POEHLER: "He has two horrible mothers. We know a lot of father stuff with Star Wars, and not a lot of mother stuff. We play these really naggy mothers of Darth Vader."
FEY: [In an elderly New Yorker accent] "Darth, eat! Why don't you eat?" That kind of stuff.
POEHLER: "You're never gonna find a girl when you go out looking like that!"
FEY: Making him practice his Jedi stuff for hours.
POEHLER: Hitting on all his Jedi friends inappropriately. I feel like the theme of the next Star Wars is going to be: How does a working mother juggle it all? I'm looking forward to that. What I like about all these giant superhero movies is that they speak to the issues that I'm dealing with right now - working mother and time management and how to be an interesting, sexual, curious woman in your 40s. That's the kind of stuff that I like to see on the screen, and that's what I see with a lot of the films out today.
It seems that J.J. Abrams couldn't agree more about the two Hollywood A-listers being cast in the film, telling Entertainment Weekly, through an email: "The exciting thing about having Amy and Tina play the Vader Moms, as we're calling them, is that they bring to the film that pitch-perfect Star Wars energy fans are clamoring for."
However, the award-winning director did not confirm the rumors saying that actors Adam Scott and Jon Hamm will play R2-D2 and C-3PO.
Don't get your hopes up just yet, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler being cast as Darth Vader's mothers are all just a joke, you know that right?
