Star Wars quotes

I played with two lines of action figures when I was a kid: G.I. Joe and Star Wars.

It was the money from ‚Star Wars‘ and ‚Jaws‘ that allowed the theaters to build their multiplexes, which allowed an opening up of screens.

None of the films I’ve done was designed for a mass audience, except for ‚Indiana Jones.‘ Nobody in their right mind thought ‚American Graffiti‘ or ‚Star Wars‘ would work.

The story being told in ‚Star Wars‘ is a classic one. Every few hundred years, the story is retold because we have a tendency to do the same things over and over again. Power corrupts, and when you’re in charge, you start doing things that you think are right, but they’re actually not.

For ‚Star Wars‘ I had to develop a whole new idea about special effects to give it the kind of kinetic energy I was looking for. I did it with motion-control photography.

I thought Star Wars was too wacky for the general public.

‚Star Wars‘ is fun, its exciting, its inspirational, and people respond to that. It’s what they want.

When I was making ‚Star Wars,‘ I wasn’t restrained by any kind of science. I simply said, ‚I’m going to create a world that’s fun and interesting, makes sense, and seems to have a reality to it.‘

One thing about ‚Star Wars‘ that I’m really proud of is that it expands the imagination. That’s why I like the ‚Star Wars‘ toys.
