The 'Star Wars' films are known for their exotic aliens, sophisticated robots, sleek technology, and planet-sized battle stations.
When I was making 'Star Wars,' I wasn't restrained by any kind of science. I simply said, 'I'm going to create a world that's fun and interesting, makes sense, and seems to have a reality to it.'
I thought Star Wars was too wacky for the general public.
I was more of a Star Wars kid, actually. I always thought Star Trek was a lot of talk, and it felt a little self-important. It was hard for me to get into it.
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.
'Star Wars' is different to anything I've done before.
I liked 'Star Wars' as a kid. I liked science fiction.
Because I grew up on 'Star Wars', that was the best example of creating a full and rich world to me as a writer. When I was watching those movies as a kid, I wanted to know more about every damn character in that universe. There was always a hint that there was a story there that you just weren't getting to see.
I'm trying to forget I ever saw 'Episode I,' but Yoda is forever.
My most memorable science fiction experience was 'Star Wars' and seeing R2D2 and C3PO. I fell in love with those robots.
Who wouldn't want to be in 'Star Wars?' It'd be great.
I came up during the 'Star Wars' generation and that was sort of the thing I plugged into much more. It was a little before my time and I think it was sort of grappling with these intellectual ideas that were a little advanced for my young mind. At the time. But now I have a much deeper appreciation for it.
I started to read as obsessively about Star Wars as I once did about Kant - and still do about behavioral economics and behavioral psychology.
I never got into 'Star Wars.' Maybe because they made no attempt to portray real physics. At all.
No, I'm not doing 'Star Wars.'
I was truly obsessed with Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Writing Kylo Ren is just so much fun.
'The Clone Wars' is certainly set in the darkest possible time throughout the whole 'Star Wars' story.
Part of me always longed to do just one more film and see what Luke would be like now that he's on the level of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the student having become the master. But it was not meant to be.
I consider Yoda to be just about the most evil character that I've ever seen in the history of literature.
I think my earliest 'Star Wars' memory that I have was from 'Return of the Jedi.' I distinctly remember the scene with the rancor under Jabba's Palace.
The approach to 'Star Wars' was more complicated than usual merely by the nature of its expansiveness.
If there was any show I could guest star on, I would want to guest star on 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' because I am such a nerd and I love that show. If there was ever an opportunity to be on that, I would snatch it up.
A long time ago, in a country not so far away, I was eight years old, doing my best Darth Vader imitation.
'Star Wars' is so accessible that, at any point, you can sort of jump in and become immersed in it.
