10 Star Wars Secrets Everyone Knows But You
6. How Much Did The Galaxy's Feature Players Make?
It certainly pays to be a part of one of the biggest pop culture franchises to have ever existed in this particular galaxy... but just how much?
Well to begin with, Harrison Ford was said to have pocketed a cool $10,000 for his work as Han Solo in A New Hope, with the likes of Mark Hamill and Sir Alec Guinness being said to have come away with $650,000 and $3.3 million, respectively for said first outing. Carrie Fisher's salary wasn't officially disclosed, however, though it's been reported that she earned 1/4 of a percent of the flicks' total profits.
Jumping into Prequel territory, Ewan McGregor reportedly earned $7 million for appearing in Revenge of the Sith alone, with the Scottish star likely earning a pretty penny from his new spin-off show, too.
Rounding out the pay packets, newcomers Daisy Ridley and John Boyega were both able to land between $100,000-$300,000 for their work on The Force Awakens, with said salary no doubt rising for the subsequent entries. And the likes of Oscar Isaac and Adam Driver, being slightly more high-profile names at the time, were able to secure "mid-to-high" six-figure deals upon making their Star Wars bows in the same flick.
