<h2>A fresh take on Superman</h2>

<p>Corenswet also shared his take on the role, saying, &ldquo;He&rsquo;s a public-facing character, he&rsquo;s a symbol. There&rsquo;s a presentational element to it because he does want to present an image of calm and authority. While he doesn&rsquo;t always feel that way, he always wants to make other people feel that way as Superman.&rdquo;</p>

<p><strong><em>Here are the edited excerpts of our fun chat:</em></strong></p>
<h2>From shy girl to Miss India</h2>
<p><strong>From Kota to the Miss India crown&mdash;what part of your journey do you think shaped you the most?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>I think the entire time span of two years was one big reason that shaped me, where I won as a girl, where I was shy, I wasn't able to speak and to a girl who won Miss India, everything changed for and now every time I hold my mic, I hold the same confidence as I do to my makeup brush.</p>

<h2>Lucas wanted to make audiences focus on Yoda&rsquo;s words</h2>
<p>Yoda and the <em>Star Wars</em> franchise are the brainchild of George Lucas, and speaking recently at the TCM Classic Film Festival, he revealed the reason behind Yoda's unique speech pattern, saying, &ldquo;Because if you speak regular English, people won&rsquo;t listen that much,&rdquo;.</p>
<p>He went on to add, &ldquo;But if he had an accent, or it&rsquo;s really hard to understand what he&rsquo;s saying, they focus on what he&rsquo;s saying.&rdquo; &ldquo;He was basically the philosopher of the movie.&rdquo; &ldquo;I had to figure out a way to get people to actually listen &mdash; especially 12-year-olds.&rdquo;</p>
