SAMUEL L. JACKSON ALMOST TURNED THE FORCE INTO FARCE

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- How happy was Samuel L. Jackson to appear in the new "Star Wars" film? So happy his grin almost ruined the movie. Jackson confesses to "React" magazine that he was so excited about the film that he ruined more than a few takes because couldn't stop laughing whenever he had to say, "May the Force be with you." But Jackson's not the only actor who had a bizarre time on the set. Ewan McGregor -- who plays the young Obi-Wan Kenobi -- says he kept dropping his light saber during scenes because the prop was so hot he kept burning his hands.
