Christopher Lee knighted!

June 13th, 2009 by Dunc · 1 Comment

The genre acting legend, who played Count Dooku in two of the prequels, has received one very big honor: He’s among those knighted Saturday by Queen Elizabeth II.

Lee is not the first Star Wars player to be knighted, of course: Sir Alec Guinness had already held the title for almost two decades when he played Obi-Wan Kenobi in 1977.
