Jon Hamm and Emma Stone auditioned for 'Star Wars' on 'SNL'

"What's up, Hamm Solo?"
In honor of Star Wars: The Force Awakens' impending release date, director JJ Abrams stopped by SNL Saturday night to share some "never-before-seen screen tests" of famous celebrities reading for various roles.
Actual cast members Daisy Ridley and John Boyega were there to provide support to the SNL cast's best celebrity impressions, with a few surprise appearances mixed in.
And the result was one of SNL's strongest sketches all season:

And Emma Stone parodied her own racial controversy:

Auditioning for Rey, Stone acknowledged the backlash that accompanied her playing a half-Asian character in Aloha earlier this year.
"Before we start, I know that the Star Wars universe is very diverse, and I don't know if you saw the movie Aloha, but I can play a very convincing part-Asian woman," she joked self-deprecatingly.
Sorry, Emma, but they probably didn't see 'Aloha.'
