Actress Calista Flockhart has yet to see the Star Wars films which made fiance Harrison Ford a movie icon - seven years after they began dating.

Ford, 66, became a superstar as space action hero Han Solo in the original George Lucas trilogy, which became a $4.3 billion (£3 billion) movie franchise.

We lived in a small town and the movie theatre was an hour away. And I was 12Calista Flockhart

The couple, who became engaged on 1 April 2007, have been dating since 2002.

And Flockhart, who was still a child at the time the original film debuted in 1977, blames her rural upbringing for never seeing the sci-fi franchise that made her fiance a cult hero.

The 44-year-old actress says, "I was never star struck (by him). I have not seen Star Wars, isn't that amazing... I'm sure it is (good). It's weird that I haven't seen it. We lived in a small town and the movie theatre was an hour away. And I was 12 - the perfect age to see it".
