Quotes
-
George Lucas : [about the Battle Droids] The Jedi cut 'em down like they're butter, and they really are pretty useless.
Plinkett : Fuck you.
-
George Lucas : [from an interview in 1983] A special effect is a tool, a means of telling a story. People have a tendency to confuse them as an end to themselves. A special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing.
Plinkett : You said it, brother. Wait, YOU said that?
-
George Lucas : Again, it's like poetry, so that they rhyme.
Plinkett : Yes, George, that's true. But the only thing poetic here is that I was vomiting in stanzas. I don't even know what that means.
-
Plinkett : Later on, after everybody starts drinking, Lucas attempts to explain his newly-minted bowel movement as "bold" and "extreme", "stylistic."
George Lucas : It's stylistically designed to be that way and you can't undo that. But we can diminish the effects of it.
Plinkett : No one looks like they know what's going on and they all look like they're about to start pointing fingers.
