We recently had the opportunity to speak with John Noble about his time on Fringe and the legacy of Walter Bishop . During the course of our conversation we touched on the rumors surrounding his potential involvement with Star Wars, how those rumors get started and the possibility that speculation could become reality.

Yeah, I was going an interview with a fella from Empire Magazine and he told me that he started the rumor. He said that when he found out that J.J. [Abrams] was doing the movie that he'd done up a list about why J.J. was the right person to do Star Wars, and one of the reasons he gave was that he'd use John Noble. [Laughs]Really? I mean I'd love to do Star Wars. That would just be epic doing something like that. And it's not beyond the realm of possibility. I have a terrific relationship with J.J. Abrams and Bad Robot, I really do. So it’s not beyond the realm of possibility. It's awhile away yet.Well, I mean Star Wars. If you're going to do one, do Star Wars. I mean seriously, if you're going to pick one to do, do that one. Because that's basically a cultural revolution. It reset pop culture in some ways. So if I had to choose one, it would be that one.

Well we'd certainly love to see Noble in Star Wars, and just about anything else. Hey, stranger things have happened.
