An Elegant Weapon for a More Civilized Age? Not So Much
Is Graham Norton trying to kill every nerd icon? It certainly seems so. You may remember that back in December the British TV personality brutally beheaded Harry Potter (perhaps his death had something to do with his later binge drinking?), and now it seems like he has set his sights on wiping out The IT Crowd/Bridesmaids co-star Chris O’Dowd and Obi Wan Kenobi himself, Ewan McGregor. In a manner best described as “sinisterly peppy,” he gave the pair lightsabers to duke it out with. The clip cuts off abruptly, but I’m fairly sure that Norton forced the pair to fight until their sabers were smashed into flying shards of death glass. Will his reign of terror ever end? Or, barring that, could he just calm down for a few minutes and do a proper interview? (Via The Mary Sue)
