Wars are not paid for in wartime, the bill comes later.
If we destroy the biosphere, then mankind will die. We all waste our time worrying about stupid wars and petty jealousy and greed, and all the time, we’re sitting on a time bomb.
Frankly, it was only after ‘Clone Wars’ got cancelled that there seemed to be this universal love-fest from fans.
This was a continent of divisions, of wars, of conflicts, of divergences, differences… When I am in Asia, in Africa, people admire what we have managed to do. Europe is beautiful seen from other continents.
I’ve always dreamed that George Lucas would call me one day and ask me to be in one of the ‘Star Wars’ films.
This kind of painting with its large frames is a bourgeois drawing-room art. It is an art dealer’s art-and that came in after the civil wars following the French Revolution.

Being part of the original ‘Star Wars’ generation, I have always known a dark future.

I literally cannot remember a time when I was not asking myself what events in ‘Star Wars’ were like for Princess Leia. The good side of all this is that what looked like ‘goofing off’ or ‘daydreaming’ these many years has all turned out to be valuable career preparation.
There was a time when a studio executive would really love something and have no proof at all that it would work and just do it because they believed in it. That’s how ‘Star Wars’ happened.
‘Star Wars’ is a galaxy a long time ago, far, far away. ‘Star Wars’ is not about our future.
One of the things ‘Star Wars’ is most deeply about is fathers, sons, and redemption. In its own way, it points to the indispensability of paternal love, and it has a lot to say about the lengths to which people – boys or girls – will go to get it.
Any historian worth their salt should be aware of wars, conflicts, catastrophes. They happen. This is part of the panorama.
I really fixated on any time there was any kind of monster in ‘Star Wars,’ even to the briefest second. As a kid, it really captivated my imagination.
It is true we have won all our wars, but we have paid for them. We don’t want victories anymore.
I haven’t done the Star Wars kind of films.
