Q: What do you think about  the famous adage/attitude that goes, "Art is never completed, only abandoned. Except Star Wars. Star Wars was complete when I saw it as a child in the 80s."?
A: that reminds me of another famous adage: "All art is based on how far you can push the technology. So, the more facile, the more fluid the technology, the easier it is to actually do your art. And, in this particular case, I looked at it, and I said, there's a lot of things that I think could be improved here. Primarily editing, which is the thing I was the most interested in. And special effects, which is the other thing I was interested in. And it wasn't really until I did Star Wars that we started to deal with some digital technology. It was very early on in the process of making films using computers. And we had to build some special purpose computers for Star Wars."
