Exclusive: Screen Rant presents a new clip from HollywoodDreamsAndNightmares The Robert Englund Story, which explores how he nearly auditioned for StarWars:
Before donning the mask of Freddy Krueger, Robert Englund nearly ventured to a galaxy far, far away, as seen in an exclusive Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story clip.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ahead of its wide release, Screen Rant is proud to present an exclusive Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story clip. The video, as seen above, shows Englund reflecting on nearly auditioning for the original Star Wars at the time of its development, having been aware of both Han Solo and Luke Skywalker's parts in the movie. Though he ultimately only had a polaroid taken of him rather than getting to read for George Lucas, Englund being there would lead to one of the sci-fi classic's key castings.
Why Englund Not Being Cast In Star Wars Was For The Better This isn't the first time Englund has looked back on his brief effort to join the original Star Wars movie, sharing in mid-2022 how he took the audition sides for the role of Luke Skywalker and went back to the apartment he shared with future The Lost Boys scribe Janice Fisher, in which actor Mark Hamill frequently visited, having been a friend of Englund.
While it's always disheartening to hear an actor as humble as Englund losing out on a major project such as Star Wars, it was ultimately for the better. The star began landing bigger roles with the likes of V and Big Wednesday, cementing his talents in a variety of genres, all of which led to his most iconic part to date as A Nightmare on Elm Street's Freddy Krueger, for which he played in eight movies, including the Friday the 13th crossover Freddy vs. Jason, and a handful of TV shows.
