The Quote of the Day from ago!

Nilo Rodis-Jamero (+3)
"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 staid, '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

"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

Regarding the creation of clones (+1)
"This is the true art of genetic selection and manipulation. A human is naturally a learning creature, but it is also violent, selfish, lustful and undisciplined. So we must walk the knife-edge between suppressing the factors that lead to disobedience and destroying that prized capacity for applying intelligence and aggression.  – Hali Ke, senior research geneticist of Kamino"

- Preface of chapter 4 from the novel Republic Commando: Hard Contact
