Prince William and Prince Harry visit "Star Wars" set, have a lightsaber duel

Being a member of the British royal family definitely has its benefits -- chief among them getting to hang out on the set of the new "Star Wars" movie and call it work.

William, the Duke of Cambridge, and younger brother Prince Harry toured Pinewood Studios outside London Tuesday, where Rian Johnson is directing the as-yet-untitled follow-up to "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

Prince William was visiting in his capacity as president of BAFTA, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, "to recognize the wealth of British creative talent involved in the production of the Star Wars films." Or at least that was the official reason. Clearly it was so the brothers could live out some childhood fantasies of getting piloting tips from Luke Skywalker, hugging a Wookiee and challenging each other to a lightsaber duel.
