It's A Leap Of Faith Doing Any

I Feel Like In Telling Stories, There Are The Things The Audience Thinks Are Important, And Then There Are The Things That Are Actually Important.

'star Wars: Episode Iv - A New Hope' (1977) Is Probably The Most Influential Film Of My Generation. That Work Was The Personification Of Good And Evil And The Way It Opened Up The World To Space Adventure, The Way Westerns Had To Our Parents' Generations, It Left An Indelible Imprint. So, In A Way, Everything That Any Of Us Does Is Somehow Directly Or Indirectly Affected By The Experience Of Seeing Those First Three Films.

You Know, We Didn't Want To Kill Anyone, But We Knew That "star Wars" Is A Generational Tale. It Always Is. And For It To Have Some Guts And Some Resonance And True Stakes, I Don't Think That Everyone Could Have Come Through The Story Unscathed.

When I Was A Kid Going Into The Movies, You Weren't Force-fed Information Everywhere You Looked About What The Movie Was Going To Be.

I Have No Style. There Are Certain People Who Just Have A Visual Sense That Defines Their Work. You Could Probably Watch 30 Seconds Of Anything They Do And You'll Know Exactly Who Directed It. I Don't Have That Skill.
