The Quote of the Day from ago!

Nilo Rodis-Jamero (+6)
"There was an afternoon where we were all gathered, months after Ralph [McQuarrie] actually stopped coming, and George [Lucas] made a point of thanking Ralph in front of everyone. Ralph stood up and said, 'I was one of the first people that George hired,' because Ralph is an unbelievably humble man. George got up and said, 'No, you were the first one.'"

- Nilo Rodis-Jamero on Ralph McQuarrie's retirement from the production of Return of the Jedi

Carrie Fisher (+9)
"I asked George [Lucas] for some sort of drinking problem. I said, 'Leia lost her parents and planet in the first film and in the second a very close friend lost his hand and her first boyfriend was frozen. By the third movie, I must be totally exhausted. I've been chased for who knows how many years.' I figure I'm ready to go, 'Hey, guys, I can't do this anymore. I'm going to get my hair done. You handle it.' And I book myself into a convent."

- Carrie Fisher on her character's role in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

"After Empire, I got a big shoebox of letters. Most of them were from six or seven-year-olds. There was one I thought was really funny, from the Mid-West. She was complaining that Wookiees don't wear clothes. This was serious&mdash;'Don't you think it's disgusting that Wookiees don't wear clothes? What's going to happen about that?!'"

"All we could see was a grainy 'security camera' shot of Jabba on tiny monitors hanging on our chests, which made stuff hard. Dave [Barclay] told me he had to put Jabba's right hand on Leia's shoulder, but heard her say, quite calmly, 'That's not my shoulder.'"

"Avoid using words. Try auditioning [for] your 'Star Wars' role speaking in bizarre alien utterances instead of actually speaking the lines as written. They can insert the subtitles later. If the role you are reading for is evil, be sure to incorporate some sort of breathing affliction into your audition. Or use a British accent. If you are reading for the most evil of all the evil characters, make sure to use a severely asthmatic British voice."

Nostalgia Critic (+5)
"This special has never re-aired, and to this day George Lucas has apparently gone out of his way to make sure that nobody sees it. So just to recap: this is the guy who said this is okay and this is okay, which means this is the project that he was personally ashamed of. I'm gonna go over that again: okay, okay, personally ashamed of. There are not enough toilets in the world to contain the amount of shit-spewing fear that I am going through right now!"
