Got this transcript from a spy abroad who was researching the latest technology in closed captioning, when he/she discovered the captions to this interview with Pernilla August (Anakin's mother in the Prequels) there are no spoilers!!!
(The following is a translated transcript of part of an interview with Pernilla August, which aired December 6th on the Swedish talk show "Let's Go". The name of the host is Erik Haag, and actress Britt Ekland is also present.)
EH: "Pernilla, I'd just like to ask you this, 'cause you've just done this exciting part. That Star Wars ... the new Star Wars movie, in which you play Darth Vader's mom. It must have been great fun to be part of an American luxury production like that. Was it like one would expect? Did you feel like Sandra Bullock, or someone like that?"
BE: (Laughs.)
PA: (Laughs.) "No ... no ... like Sandra Bullock? No, but it was ... no, but ... Yes, it was damn ... it was great fun, great fun, great fun! Now, afterwards, it feels like as if it was a dream!"
EH: "But was it ... I mean, in comparison with Sweden?"
PA: "No, I ... I was so surprised, actually, that it was so much the same, oddly enough. That once you're there with the camera, it's like ... It's the same thing, it's the same job, even if there were much, much more people around you. But it was extremely smooth and easy, you know, so you didn't feel it. I thought it was good fun ... laid-back."
BE: "I'd very much like to know what you were wearing? Did you have ..?" (Gesticulates, apparently imitating Leia's "doughnut" hair-do.)
PA: "I don't think I'm allowed to say that!"
BE: "Oh, I see."
EH: "No, but the thing is that Pernilla isn't allowed to say anything."
PA: "I've signed papers, I'm not allowed to say one word! I'm a completely hopeless interview subject!" (Laughs.)
EH: "But one would at least assume ..." (Is interrupted by BE.)
BE: "Let's just say, was it black and shiny?"
PA: (Laughs.) "Assume!?" (Mumbles and laughs.)
BE: "Oh."
EH: "In any case, one could at least say this much, and now I'm just guessing, that ... that Darth Vader's childhood couldn't have been all that sunny."
PA: (Looks kind of grave all of a sudden.) "Oh, God! I wouldn't ... What? I wouldn't know ..."
EH: "No, but I mean, things couldn't have been altogether uncomplicated when he was little, since he becomes so evil later when he grows up."
PA: "Yes, well, but that's later on ..."
EH: "Oh, I see, it's not the one you're in, but that might happen a bit ... I see ..."
BE: "But was he at all born, or like ..?"
EH: "No, but he was completely ordinary at first."
PA: (Laughs, pointing at EH and BE.) "You can talk ... 'cause I don't dare to speak!"
(The interview ends as EH presents another segment.)
