Ponytails are not the only thing Ariana Grande is fanatical about. She is also a devoted Star Wars buff. In a hysterical parody video, Grande analyzed one of the most hotly-debated questions in the Star Wars Universe: who shot first, Hans Solo or Greedo?
"Ugh, God, you’re both wrong. Han didn’t shoot first because Greedo never fired off a shot in the first place. Han shot, Greedo died, end of story. Greedo was too busy mouthing off while Han just sat there…"
Well, it certainly checks out. Ariana is definitely a fan.
Megan Fox, Official Star Wars geek? Yup, it's true. According to the actress herself, she is a longtime fan. In one of her first tweets, Fox posted a picture of an R2-D2 replica she owns, along with the caption: "Is it cool or embarrassing to own a life-size R2-D2?" She's also been spotted out and about in a Star Wars t-shirt. The Force is strong with this one.
In 2015, Reese Witherspoon posted an Instagram photo of herself posing with two stormtroopers. This could have been seen as just another random pic, save for two things. 1) Witherspoon posted the image on "Star Wars Day," so she clearly knows something about the franchise. 2) She has since jokingly suggested a Star Wars-Big Little Lies crossover. When Laura Dern, Witherspoon's Big Little Lies costar and a member of The Last Jedi cast, met Star Wars robot BB-8 on Good Morning America, Witherspoon tweeted at Dern: "I love him! Can BB-8 be in BLL2?"

When one thinks "Star Wars nerd," one does not automatically conjure an image of Cara Delevingne. But judging by the costume she wore to the opening night of The Force Awakens in 2015, Delevingne might just be one of the franchise's biggest fans. She arrived at the London event not only wielding a lightsaber, but dressed head to toe in a Jabba the Hutt costume. That's one way of both showing your love of Star Wars to the world while also hiding in plain sight. Well-played, Cara.
In 2012, Stone confessed to the Daily Beast that she was a hardcore nerd, but, oh, you had no idea how deep her nerdiness ran. By all appearances, the Oscar-winning actress is a major Star Wars junkie. She appeared in a Stand Up to Cancer PSA in which she uproariously portrayed Princess Leia. She also did an SNL skit in which she "auditioned" for the next Star Wars movie.

From Avatar to Star Trek, Zoe Saldaña has starred in some of the biggest science fiction movies of modern time. But her heart just might always belong to Star Wars. The actress's Instagram page is chock-full of photos celebrating her love of the legendary franchise. Among them: a pic of Saldaña running into some stormtroopers, and a shot of Saldaña with her family sporting Star Wars socks.
