The Quote of the Day from ago!

Duwayne Dunham (+3)
"I'm running this scene for George, and it's the two robots outside Jabba's palace talking to each other. Neither one of them has a mouth and Artoo whistles. George says, 'Stop. Artoo is out of sync.' I say, 'What do you mean? Artoo just has some beats and whistles.' He says, 'I know, but see how the body moves right there, how the little robot moves? You've got to sync those sounds right on those movements.' So you do&mdash;and suddenly it comes alive."

- Assistant film editor Duwayne Dunham discusses working with George Lucas on Return of the Jedi

George Lucas (+3)
"Six hours and fifteen minutes' worth of film already, and you're talking about maybe five and a half hours' worth of music. It's the underpinning, a grease that each movie slides along on, as well as a glue that holds it together so that you can follow it. There's always been a scene or a moment in which the music connects so strongly with the visual that it sends shivers up my spine every time I see it. Johnny's always gotten that moment for me."

- George Lucas on John Williams's work scoring the first Star Wars trilogy

Ian McDiarmid (+2)
"I saw the film with some four-year-old children I know. They wouldn't believe that I was the Emperor of the Universe. I said, 'I'm Darth Vader's boss,' but they wouldn't have any of it. Then, halfway through the movie they realized it must be true. At the end, they sat there looking stunned and wouldn't speak to me. They wouldn't come near me!"

Anthony Daniels (+2)
"I really did like [Return of the] Jedi, but only because I got to play God for a day, with little adoring furry creatures. And I got to put Harrison [Ford] over a barbecue&mdash;little things like that which make the day worth living."

Mark Hamill (+2)
"I remember finishing the third one and it really had a sense of the end. From the standpoint of Luke, you have a story that tells how he becomes this Jedi. And that's the end of the story. It's as if you have three movies to tell how James Bond got his license to kill and, the moment he gets it, the movie is over. So part of me was saying, 'I'm so glad I put this all behind me,' but the other aspect was, 'What about all the adventures Luke could have?"

George Lucas (+2)
"The whole point of the film, the whole emotion that I am trying to get at the end of this film, is for you to be real uplifted, emotionally and spiritually, and feel absolutely good about life. That is the greatest thing that we could possibly ever do."
