Tina Fey and Amy Poehler took over Entertainment Weekly as guest editors, giving readers a sneak peak of their upcoming role in the "Star Wars Episode 7" franchise?
Before you get too excited, it's safe to assume the funny women were joking when they "confirmed" their roles as Vader's two moms in director J.J. Abram's Disney project.
Apparently Abrams is thrilled to have Fey and Poehler on board his cast. The director has kept all details about the film under wraps, but took the time to confirm to EW how thrilled he is about "the Vader Moms".
"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," Abrams wrote in an email to EW.
Check out the banter between the two comedians as they discussed their "roles" in "Star Wars Episode 7", according to EW.
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."
