Emilia Clarke backs Kit Harington to play Luke Skywalker

Emilia Clarke has said she would love to see her "Game of Thrones" co-star Kit Harington play a young Luke Skywalker.

The 31-year-old actor, who plays Qi'ra in the new "Solo: A Star Wars Story", suggested Harington's name if the iconic character gets his own Star Wars spin-off.

''I feel like I have to say Kit Harington. Because I have to, do you know what I mean?'' Clarke told Entertainment Tonight.

The actor said she is excited to feature in the movie directed by Ron Howard.

"My brother was a huge fan, he's my big brother. I was always gonna do everything he told me to do, so I watched them really young (and) got into them from him.

"Then when it all came back the second time around, I became a fan all over again, because it's just... They've taken it to every level. And then when they wanted me to be in it, I'm like, 'What? OK!'"
