The Quote of the Day from ago!

Carrie Fisher (+8)
"Originally, I was known as the 'the girl'. During my first day on the set, someone described the next scene I was in as, 'The girl crossed the room and exits stage left. The camera operator will have to pan to keep her in frame.' I asked whether I was to be 'the girl' or 'the camera operator'. They got the idea. I'm now an honorary camera operator."

- Carrie Fisher, on filming Star Wars

Way to ruin it, Prowse! (+7)
"But then he told the crowd what they really wanted to hear: that shooting for a sequel, 'Star Wars II' would begin in February. ([The crowd] Cheers.) But he said that it would not be released until May 1980. (Groans.) 'So you've got two years to wait.' (More groans.) And he offered a glimpse of a possible plot for the second sequel. Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, the young hero in the first film played by Mark Hamill, are hooked up in a do-or-die light saber duel when Luke learns that Darth is, in fact, his long-lost father. 'Father can't kill son, son can't kill father,' Prowse said. 'So they live again to star in "Star Wars IV." ' (Wild cheers.)"

Comments

 * I love this quote, but is the speculation in the attribution necessary? I feel like the quote would be better off without it. Especially since he's referring to a "second sequel (Star Wars III)," for which he definitely wouldn't have had the script yet. Menkooroo (talk) 00:38, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * I suppose not. It was just to cover all bases, but if someone's interested they can pop through the attribution link to io9 and see them say it's unlikely he was telling the truth. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 04:23, October 11, 2012 (UTC)

The Big Bang Theory (+9)
"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to watch the Clone Wars TV series until I've seen the Clone Wars movie. I prefer to let George Lucas disappoint me in the order he intended."

We had no idea what was coming (+4)
"Darth Vader, the metallic creature above, is a character in George Lucas' new film, 'Star Wars.' Vader, it seems, employs his extrasensory powers to keep the Galactic Empire enthroned and to aid the Governor Tarkin in the destruction of a rebellion. The film &mdash; which will undoubtably clarify the preceding sentence &mdash; will have a special benefit premiere at 7 and 9:30 PM tomorrow at the Coronet Theatre. Proceeds will be used for the UC Art Museum's Pacific Film Archive, home of the most in-depth film exhibition program in the U. S. 'Star Wars' will open its theatrical premiere engagement Wednesday at the Coronet."
