I have a sneaking suspicion that if there were a way to make movies without actors, George Lucas would do it.

I can't tell you how much we laughed on the set to have Alec Guinness in a scene with a big, furry dog that's flying a space ship.

I miss live audiences, because it's like no other form of entertainment, where the audience is a major part of the production every night.

People think being remembered most for one character is a negative thing, but I don't. I never expected to be remembered for anything!

I've learned that the movies [Star Wars] will never finally end. It just goes on and on and on and on. I mean, it's going to be in 3D, then it's going to be smellivision, then it's going to be a ride in an amusement park, then they'll come to your house and perform it with puppets on your lawn ... it'll never end! I accepted that a long time ago.

There's something fascinating about watching artists draw.

George [Lucas] wanted to know whether we'd be interested. He did say that if we didn't want to do it, they wouldn't cast another actor in our parts - they would write us out.
