I was interested in the war part of ‘Star Wars,’ so I started reading about what it’s like to go to war, what that does to you psychically, about the adrenaline and the rush.
I am a closet toy freak. I started chasing after some things as far as Star Wars toys – some very rare stuff.
One thing about ‘Star Wars’ that I’m really proud of is that it expands the imagination. That’s why I like the ‘Star Wars’ toys.
I’m having so much fun, because you know what? They cast a Star Wars fan in a Star Wars movie. Biiiiiig mistake!
I’m so proud of ‘Star Wars’ as it is and the fact that it’s making a concerted effort to be more inclusive and be more representative. Because it’s ‘Star Wars.’ It’s intergalactic. The more people who look like everyone, the better.
I’d say for a film composer, ‘Star Wars’ is kind of like the holy grail of film music. It’s probably the best film music ever written.
I got to meet Mark Hamill. He signed some Star Wars posters for us. I saw the fight scenes he had. He was really into making fun of himself and Star Wars.
The ‘Star Wars’ saga is about a series of seemingly chance encounters. They impact the destiny of everyone involved.
Wherever people find themselves in trouble, or at some kind of crossroads, the series proclaims you are free to choose. That’s the deepest lesson of ‘Star Wars.’
‘Star Wars’ boils down to the transition from adolescence into adulthood.
Whatever your gender, you can be a ‘Star Wars’ fan.
I just turn on the TV and watch whatever is on, like ‘Star Wars’ or ‘Lord of the Rings.’
I’m not a sculptor; I’m a hard-edged model maker. You give me a drawing, you give me a prop to replicate, you give me a crane, scaffolding, parts from ‘Star Wars’ – especially parts from ‘Star Wars’ – I can do this stuff all day long. It’s exactly how I made my living for 15 years.
Apparently the new high-tech Star Wars toys will be in stores any day now. The toys can talk and are interactive, so they can be easily distinguished from Star Wars fans.
‘Jurassic Park’ is like ‘Star Wars.’ Different directors can give a different taste to each movie.
A lot of ‘Star Wars’ fans who are specifically Asian never had a character they could dress up like, or they would, and people would always call them ‘Asian Rey’ or ‘Asian fill-in-the-blank.’
I do love ‘Star Wars,’ although I’m not one of those crazy fans who knows everything about everyone.
Who wouldn’t want to be in ‘Star Wars?’ It’d be great.
I would much rather have watched Jill Clayburgh in ‘An Unmarried Woman’ than ‘Star Wars.’ Even though I saw that movie when I was 11, I related emotionally to being left and thrown in a trash can on the side of the road. Her damage – I got it. I didn’t understand Han Solo at all.
When I watch movies – when I watch ‘Star Wars’ – you want to watch the fun characters, the diversions.
What I’m known for – ‘Game of Thrones,’ ‘Star Wars’ – they film in England, but they’re American productions. Because American productions are willing to see Asian actors.
I would like to be, like, a young jedi in training, like, do some cool stuff and have some awesome stunts, like Tom Cruise. I think that would be my dream role in ‘Star Wars.’
When I watch my sons play, I think, God, acting’s the most natural thing in the world. They take the ‘Star Wars’ characters and say, ‘Let’s pretend that I’m Hans and you’re Luke and that we’re on this planet,’ etc.
Way back at the beginning, I went to see George Lucas when he first came to London for ‘Star Wars.’ I met him months before they started, and he didn’t ask me to do the picture at all. But the actor whom he had employed to play Wedge didn’t work out for some reason.
Come on, guys, I am a computer nerd. I love Hollywood and movies. My whole life is like a movie. I wouldn’t be who I am if it wasn’t for the mind-altering glimpse at the future in ‘Star Wars.’
Whenever I watch a show and twentysomethings have a lot of ‘Star Wars’ references, I know it’s written by a 40-year-old dude.
So long as I can remember, my siblings and I would have ‘Star Wars’ action figures or Fisher-Price action figures, and we would build these sprawling compounds.
There are tons of female ‘Star Wars’ fans, and they’re just as fanatic about it as the boys.
I loved ‘Star Wars’. I had the toys.
Your life goes on, and then your life goes on plus ‘Star Wars.’ It’s just been an incredible time.
I have been in ‘Star Wars’ since I was 20.
There was an enormous revival of pulp fiction that started in the ’60s and continued into the ’70s, which in large part gave rise to things like ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Indiana Jones,’ among others. But I developed an appetite for the original stuff at the time, and that appetite has never really abated.
‘E.T.’ and ‘Star Wars’ were cult movies then and opened up a brand new world of adventure and mystery. But as much as I would have loved to be friends with E.T., I realized that following in the footsteps of Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan was more realistic.
I used to love the ‘Star Trek’ movies, ‘Wrath of Khan’ and stuff like that. Loved those movies when I was a kid. And ‘Star Wars’ obviously was hands-down probably – I mean I had the sheets. I was a big fan of that.
My friend once sculpted me a bust of Admiral Ackbar from ‘Star Wars.’ He’s my favourite character in the films after Han Solo. He’s that goldfish-type alien in the white costume. ‘It’s a trap!’ I’m a big geek.
I’m not gonna lie: I was not a big ‘Star Wars’ geek.
I thought Star Wars was too wacky for the general public.
In the original ‘Star Wars’ movie, there is a small toaster-sized and shaped robot on the Death Star that guides Stormtroopers to where they need to go. I always liked that robot because I could imagine how to build it – and it served a real purpose.
I have grown up watching franchise-based movies like ‘Star Wars’ and read ‘Amar Chitra Katha’ and had aspired to do cinema like that.
There are no black film composers doing the likes of Star Wars, doing the likes of E.T., doing the likes of Jurassic Park. There are none, nor will there ever be one. That ain’t about to happen!
When I try to be funny, it always makes me more nervous that I’m trying too hard, and then my brain that already thinks too much jumps into hyper drive, and I light-speed start talking ‘Star Trek’ to someone who’s talking ‘Star Wars.’ Anyway, it doesn’t work out usually when I ‘try’ to be funny.
‘Star Wars’ meant everything to me growing up.
George Lucas doesn’t have the most physical stamina. He was so unhappy making Star Wars that he just vowed he’d never do it again.
It’s gonna be weird how there are going to be new ‘Star Wars’ movies every year starting in 2015. I don’t know what that’s going to be like, having one every year. Maybe it’ll be perfect. Maybe it’ll be just the right amount of time to have something to look forward to. Maybe it’ll be too many at once.
I was a big fan of ‘Star Trek.’ But then again, you know, ‘Star Trek’, ‘Star Wars’, ‘Doctor Who’, I wasn’t a big fan, but you know, when they ask you and they cast you and it drops in your lap, how can you say no to these franchises.
The arrival of ‘Star Wars’ signalled the full absorption of the former counterculture into a new mainstream.
I don’t get ‘Star Wars.’ I just don’t.
It’s very weird when people you know are in ‘Star Wars.’
‘Star Wars’ is a galaxy a long time ago, far, far away. ‘Star Wars’ is not about our future.
Goals are ever-changing. I didn’t set out to be in a ‘Star Wars’ film but now I’ve been in one.
The agency was desperate to get started with the commercials in 1976, but I was working on Star Wars.
Being part of the original ‘Star Wars’ generation, I have always known a dark future.
I grew up with the religion of ‘Star Wars,’ frankly. That’s when I realized there is something bigger out there… and it’s called The Force.
When are boots in the ground no longer going to have to even be people, and is that right? When does it become ‘Star Wars?’ When is enough enough? When do we put this time and energy into eliminating war or reasons for war instead of creating new technology to make war easier for us?
I think that Star Wars revolutionized not only sci-fi movies, but also the entire industry in the way that things are done.
This world of ‘Star Wars’ is just so accepting and beautiful that the idea a droid and a human are trying to waddle their way into a relationship is something that’s celebrated.
Well, when I wasn’t playing with a football I used to play with ‘Star Wars’ figures as a kid. Hanging out with Chewbacca and Luke Skywalker is how I passed the time when I wasn’t kicking a ball around.
As a child I always steered clear of science fiction, but in the autumn of 1977, the bow-wave of publicity for the first ‘Star Wars’ movie had already reached me, so I was eager for anything science-fictional.
My strangest experience was my six words in ‘Star Wars.’ I’ve had more fanmail from that than anything I’ve ever done.
I let it go. I have not looked at the ‘Star Wars’ films, and that’s absolutely true.
The story being told in ‘Star Wars’ is a classic one. Every few hundred years, the story is retold because we have a tendency to do the same things over and over again. Power corrupts, and when you’re in charge, you start doing things that you think are right, but they’re actually not.
