Irvin Kershner (+5)
"And there's Darth Vader. Of course, you can't shoot Darth Vader. Now, how did he get the gun across that huge table into his hand? Simple. I threw it across the table, and we photographed it – quick take of the gun flying through the air – and then put a string on it, put it in the hands of Darth Vader, and pulled it out with the camera upside-down. And it snapped into his hand. Cost nothing. Best kind of special effects."
