       Hollywood actor Denis Lawson has turned down the chance   
       to appear in the new Star Wars films because they would   
       have "bored him".   
      
       The Crieff-born star said he had been approached by   
       Disney, which bought Lucasfilm in 2012, but turned them   
       down.   
      
       The 66-year-old played X-wing pilot Wedge Antilles in   
       all three films of the original trilogy. In 2001, he   
       provided the voiceover for the character¹s appearance   
       in a Nintendo computer game.   
      
       Lawson made the revelation at a screening of his most   
       recent film, The Machine, at Strathearn Artspace in his   
       home town.   
      
       When asked if the next new Denis Lawson film to be   
       screened there would be Star Wars, he replied: "I'm not   
       going to do that."   
      
       Asked if it was because Disney had taken over the   
       franchise, he replied: "They asked me but it just would   
       have bored me."
