George Lucas: Self

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.

• [repeated line] 

  George Lucas : Again, it's like poetry, so that they rhyme.
