It's Okay To Lose; Just Don't Lose

The Thing About Science-fiction Fans And "star Wars" Fans Is They're Very Independent-thinking People. They All Think Outside The Box, But They All Have Very Strong Ideas About What Should Happen, And They Think It Should Be Their Way. Which Is Fine, Except I'm Making The Movies, So I Should Have It My Way.

You Can't Put A Title Card At The Head Of The Movie And Say, "well, We Really Had A Bad Problem. You Know, The Actor Got Sick And It Rained This Day And We Had A Hurricane."

I'm Not In A Contest. I Make Movies. I'm Not A Racehorse.

You're Not Going To Stay In Business, The Business Of Making Movies Very Long Because You Need The Resources In Order To Keep Going. So You Have To Try And Find A Niche Audience Or Some Kind Of Audience That Has The Same Likes, Dislikes And Aesthetic Sensibilities That You Have.

From The Outset, I Conceived Star Wars As A Series Of Six Films, Or Two Trilogies.
