If you go to Rachel Weisz for Star Wars information, you’re looking at places in Alderaan.
Weisz told Stephen Colbert on Thursday’s “Late Show” that her husband, fellow actor Daniel Craig, and their 4-year-old son “bonded” over their shared love of the “Star Wars” movies. But Weisz is lukewarm about them.
When Colbert asked if he had ever seen “Star Wars,” the British-American actor smiled guiltily and replied, “Umm.”

Her daughter, on the other hand, is “obsessed” with the show, she said. And Craig is such a fan that he requested a cameo in 2015’s “The Force Awakens,” appearing briefly as a Stormtrooper.
Weisz clarified that he “probably” saw a Star Wars movie as a kid, but that he’s “not that deep” into the franchise.
That might have been an understatement.
“What’s the thing they’re trying to destroy in the movie?” Colbert asked, before instructing the audience, “Don’t tell them.”

“Um, Darth Vader?” Weisz replied, stifling a laugh.
Colbert seemed surprised by her unfamiliarity with the movies, saying at one point, “This is the part in the movie where we find out you’re an alien.”
Weisz responded to the idea that she might be an alien with a comparison to another science fiction series.
“Oh, it’s like ‘Mork and Mindy’!” she replied.
