Rishi Sunak has expressed his ambitions as to what role he would want to take in Star Wars, if given the chance. In an interview with Babs Michels for BBC Three Counties Radio, the UK Prime Minister suggested his preferred call sign would be Red Seven.
Three Counties Radio asked the self-confessed Star Wars fan which character he would be, after some of the franchise’s sequels were filmed in Buckinghamshire’s Pinewood studio.
“Would you say you’re more Skywalker, Han Solo or actually you’re Darth Vader?”, Babs Michel probed.
“I’ll leave others to come to their conclusion,” Mr Sunak said.
“Who wouldn’t love to go on the Millennium Falcon and have that be your ship, so I would love to be able to do that, but then again also piloting an X-wing has probably been one of my life’s bucket list things that I would want to do.
“So if you could have a chat with the people who filmed the movies there, if they could get me a cameo in an X-wing and I would get to say ‘Red 7 standing by’ before we take down the Death Star, that would make me a very happy man, that has always been my childhood dream.”
