I had an imagination that I could never get before on film. I was stuck with creatures in rubber masks that couldn't move very far and was I stuck in environments that were extremely limited. Over the years people have tried to make it another movie than what it is. This is a Saturday afternoon serial for children. It has a rollup, it's episode one.
People forget what the movies actually are.
I expect not to do well critically, although I think I'll do better with this than some of our movies. Some of the fans have gotten themselves in an impossible situation. They've gotten older - and it's for young people. That question brought Lucas back to the hype and the unprecedented media coverage. We've tried very hard not to get the film overhyped, but it got out of control anyway.
