Who’ll be her “successor” to The Crown in season three? Go to Parade.com/foy

IS BACK!The gang is getting together for a reunion. The two-hour Carol Burnett 50th Anniversary Special (CBS, Dec. 3) will feature Bur-

nett, 84, reminiscing with original co-stars, welcoming guests—like Jim Carrey, Stephen Colbert, Harry Connick Jr., Bill Hader, Jay Leno, Jane Lynch, Maya Rudolph and Martin Short—and sharing moments from her Emmy-winning series. “I can’t believe how fast the time went,” says Burnett. “What makes me the happiest is that so much of the funny stuff we did still holds up today.”

CAROL BURNETT

Big Game Flavors

Super Bowl LII will be one of the most delicious on record, thanks to chef and popular TV personality

. As the -

sador for Super Bowl LII, he’ll spotlight local fare and talent. “We aim to bring a uniquely Minnesotan experience to this year’s big game,” says Zimmern, who lives in Minneapolis and hosts Travel Channel’s Bizarre Foods franchise. “Eating great food is an essential part of watching football, and I can’t wait to share

dishes with the fans.” We’ll showcase Zimmern’s unique gridiron fare in our Jan. 28, 2018, issue. In the meantime, catch him at andrewzimmern.com and on Food Network’s The Zimmern List.

Foy, 33, the Golden Globe–winning actress for The Crown, reprises her role as Queen Elizabeth II when season two of the acclaimed Netflix series picks up Dec. 8. The monarch faces the downfall of

Prime Minister Harold Macmillan (Anton Lesser) and the intro-

duction of President John F. Kennedy (Michael C. Hall) and wife Jackie (Jodi Balfour).

-ing Queen Elizabeth? Well, crikey! She’s a mystery. I think she’s sphinxlike, a very simple woman who does extraordinary things.

Freedom. She’s never had the opportunity to choose what her life would be like; it was supplied for her by circum-stance and by her place in the world. That’s extraordinary.

-First Man This is the

sort of job that I could not have even in my wildest, deep, dark night terrors imagined. The thing that gives me solace is that direc-tor Damien Chazelle [Whiplash, La La Land] and Ryan Gosling [Neil Armstrong] are such lovely people.

acting career? Coming from a single-parent home with three children, I started working when I was 13. I’ve worked in a park, in a café, I was a waitress at weddings, a security

in a hat factory, a box factory; I was a sales-person on the phone, and I gave away free newspapers.

Ask MarilynBy Marilyn vos Savant

My wife and I contribute equally to our joint checking account. Also, I sometimes pay for shared expenses myself, and she pays me back half. One time, she put $1,000 into the joint account, but instead of matching it, I sug-gested that she just not pay me back for her half of $2,000 of shared expenses that I had paid myself. This seemed fair at the time, but I’m starting to wonder about it. Did somebody get the better end of the deal?

—Steven S., Honolulu, Hawaii

Yes, your wife did. The joint ac-count gained $1,000, and $2,000 in shared expenses were paid. Of this $3,000, your wife contributed $1,000, and you contributed $2,000.

‘I HAVE A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS.’ Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Leia have each uttered this phrase of doom, making it a run-ning gag throughout the saga. Solo said it three times! (The phrase was also spoken in the George Lucas–produced 2008

Indiana Jones and the King-dom of the Crystal Skull.)

WATCH FOR Which character gets the line in The Last Jedi? Johnson is mum: “Oh my God, that would be telling!”

IT’S NOT ALL CGI… When Luke stands next to a creature on the edge of a coast, that’s really Hamill on the Irish isle of Skellig Michael with a hand-crafted animatronic character.

CIRCLE THE DATE: DEC. 20, 2019 Stars Wars: Episode IX, already in the early stages, will be in the-aters two years from now. Scanlan and his team recently met with director J.J. Abrams (who also helmed The Force Awakens) for what he dubbed “creative playtime.” “This is a ‘blue sky moment’ where everyone is full of ideas,” he says. “We try to keep it as free-spirited as possible.” (And

says the porgs could be back!)

Iwas surprised and chal-lenged by the script for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. You’ve seen the trailer: Luke

says, “I only know one truth: It’s time for the Jedi to end.” In the original movies, Luke went through more changes than any other character. He started out as a farm boy and became a Jedi master. So you know he’s a different person now, but the hardest thing was

experiences were between the The Last Jedi.

The focus now is on Rey [Daisy Ridley] and Kylo Ren [Adam Driver]. It’s really about Rey’s journey. I’m more in the Obi-Wan Kenobi [Alec Guin-ness] or Grand Moff Tarkin [Peter Cushing] category as a character—I’m important to her journey but not the focus. For Luke—the most optimistic character from the original trilogy—to be so cynical now is really stunning. But it’s so much more interesting than being a recycled Obi-Wan.

GREATER GOOD From the very start, the Star Warsthe greater good. We get

movie, we were “science

elements that set us apart: a princess, a wizard, a space cowboy/gambler, a farm boy and two mechanical sidekicks. And there was an irony and self-awareness about Star Wars that fairy tales and West-

other source material we were emulating didn’t have. Take the moment in Star Wars when I’m about to swing across inside the Death Star and Leia [Carrie Fisher] gives me a peck on the cheek and says, “For luck.” It’s so anachronistic in a modern-

to take the time to do some-thing that sweet and romantic and stupid. Those movies had a great sense of humor.

The whole Star Wars phe-nomenon grew around us, and we were at the eye of the hurricane. It’s a young cast now, and it’s a little different for them. When Daisy Ridley and the others came on board, they knew that even if the movie wasn’t well received, it was

is very easy to work with. She comes on set, she’s prepared and she’s lovely, a fun person to be around. She’s my daugh-

ter’s age, and that’s how I relate to her.

'LOOK! IT'S LUKE!'I love the multigenerational appeal of the movies. Kids who grew up with the original trilo-gy are now adults passing their love of Star Wars down to their kids. For me, it’s been a relief to come back and show young people the way I look now. For years, parents have been push-ing their children toward me at airports saying, “Look! It’s Luke Skywalker!” and all the kids see is this elderly man and they don’t understand. It’s healthy for kids to see us the way we are now. It’s also better for me. I didn’t want to spend my senior citizen years frightening young children.

When I was 20, I thought by 50 I’d be retired. You don’t

imagine yourself playing char-acter roles or elderly parts. I was really happy in my theater and voiceover days after the original trilogy; I loved sleeping in my own bed and not being on location and being with my family. I was scared to come back, but I thought, How could I not? First, I’d be the most hated man in fandom. I never thought Harrison [Ford] would come back. And when he did, I couldn’t wait to work with him. Kind of ironic since we didn’t have any scenes together!

SO GRATEFULI’ll never get used to the fan reaction. I just got back from New York Comic Con, where you see up close and personal

fans. It’s so ingrained in their life experience; they’re trans-formed by it. Some of them are just vibrating because they’re so excited. It’s extraordinary and it’s moving. It’s like they think of you as part of their family. I get it. Some people don’t care for these movies at all and some people watch them and enjoy them, but for the people I’m talking about—the ultrapassionate fans—it’s astonishing to experience that up close and personal. It’s something I don’t think I’ll ever completely understand, but I’m so grateful for it.

People have always needed a safe place to escape reality, whether it’s Oz or Middle-earth or Hogwarts or the Marvel/DC Comics universe. It’s very therapeutic to go from the stress of everyday life to a place far, far away. That’s the gift of Star Wars.

THE LEGACY OF STAR WARSJust after a visit to New York Comic Con, Mark Hamill, 66 (Luke Skywalker himself!), penned this exclusive essay for Parade on the true meaning of the celestial saga.
