That had always been my purpose: to get people back in touch with what makes us so valuable as a human race.

I'm here, and every day now is an extra day. I've been given an extra day so I've got to make the most of it.

From the outset, I conceived Star Wars as a series of six films, or two trilogies.

Impressive, most impressive. (Darth Vadar)

After you've done the first feature, then you have heck of a difficult time getting your second film off the ground. They look at your first film and they say, "Oh well, we don't want you anymore."

It took me three, four years, to get from my first film to my second film, banging on doors, trying to get people to give me a chance. Writing, struggling, with no money in the bank, working as an editor on the side. Working as a cameraman on the side. Getting little jobs, eking out a living. Trying to stay alive, and pushing a script that nobody wanted.
