The Quote of the Day from ago!

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.)"

- A 1978 newspaper article recounting David Prowse speaking at a Star Wars fan rally

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)

Liam Neeson (+7)
"These characters resonate&hellip; even after all these years. Growing up, my heroes were cowboys; they were strong and mysterious, and it seemed like they always rode off into the sunset. For kids today, Star Wars has that same kind of magic. I really wanted to be a part of that."

"&hellip;on June 29, 2012, I found out. I was called into a meeting to discuss, oh, something or other about updating future messaging for Lucasfilm. In order for me to get a better grasp of what that future entailed, my boss just sprang the news on me that, and I quote, "We're making seven, eight and nine." He didn't say Star Wars. He didn't have to. Why else would those numbers have any relevance? I needed to sit down. I suspect he told me the news in precisely that way to gauge my reaction. I said something that's unprintable here."

Abel G. Peña (+4)
"I think the acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney is a very, very good thing. For the sake of the franchise, this has just basically assured that, truly, Star Wars *will be* "forever"&mdash;or as close as we can get. I love Disney stuff, and I always unabashedly have. I watched Tangled in the theater *by myself*, and I plan to watch Wreck-It Ralph this weekend. Their stuff speaks to the kid in me, just like Star Wars always has."

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.

"Approaching the line that marked the end of day and the beginning of the night, Corran saw a building that could only be the Imperial Palace. An arrogant edifice, it rivaled and mocked the Manarai Mountains to the south. Towers rose from it like coral spires from a reef and their sharp, angular construction made them seem as dangerous to Corran as the coral they reminded him of. Those towers, that artificial mountain, housed the bureaucracy and officials that could destroy planets with a rounding error in the budget."
