Dee Bradley Baker (+2)
"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."

- Dee Bradley Baker's advice to actors auditioning for Star Wars Episode VII

Richard Marquand (+2)
"I think directing Return of the Jedi is rather like being a famous conductor. You are given this fabulous orchestra, full of the most brilliant musicians that you could want in the world. The guy who wrote the music is listening, he is available for any problems you have, to say, 'Well if you play the third bar a little faster&hellip;' You didn't compose the music. Some other guy did and he's in the next room."

- Richard Marquand on directing Return of the Jedi with George Lucas as producer

Scott Farrar (+1)
"One day someone says, 'Hey, I hear they're running some dailies from London. Let's go look.' And it's all these black-and-white rough cuts of these little teddy bears on these fake trees. We come out of there and we go, 'My God, what are we involved with? What is this movie?' We were flabbergasted."

Attack of the Jedi (+5)
"DARTH SIDIOUS' plot to create an army of SITH CLONES has failed, along with his other plot to clone the one CLONE the SITH did clone into CLONES cloned from that CLONE. I have no idea what I just read. Let's just say the bad guys are losing."
