But I'm grateful for everyone who would want to read a spoiler because it means that they care and want to see the movie. I know what it feels like, as an enormous Star Wars fan myself.

I think when you're 10 years old, it's too much to see something with the threat of death in every episode. Kids are better left naive about certain things.

I sort of love the idea of, you know, watching something and then having to wait for the next episode.

Directing a movie precludes me from being involved in any greater way. But, the job was never to do more, it was always to enable. Sometimes as a producer, you're creating and writing it, or sometimes you're writing and directing it, or other times you're there from the very beginning.

I think you have a passion and an obsession for something when it's not necessarily ubiquitous.

As a kid, 'Star Wars' was much more my thing than 'Star Trek' was.

It's not a bad way to live once you let go of the idea that you deserve more.
