Like a dream. But it was hell at the audition because I'm trying to figure out. I said, Harrison, you worked with George on American Graffiti. Is this like a send-up? Is this like a parody of Flash Gordon? He said, hey, kid, let's just get it done, all right? So he was no help whatsoever. Same with George. George asked him the same questions. Is this like a Mel Brooks version, like a send-up?

And he went, well, let's just do it and we'll talk about it later. Translation is let's just do it and we'll never talk about it later. George doesn't want to talk about backstory or motivation or all that. I mean, he's a real movie maker in the sense that he only really comes alive in the editing room.

Because first of all, I mean – It wasn't that dry, serious, antiseptic science fiction. This was just, you know, it reminded me of Wizard of Oz with the gender switch. Instead of Dorothy getting away from Kansas and meeting all these fantastic creatures, it's Luke trying to get away from the farm and having his worlds altered forever. So that's what I saw.

And it was funny as hell. I mean, these robots are arguing over whose fault it is. I could tell I was the straight man to the robots. But to tell you the truth, too, between that screen test, months went by. I mean, I just assumed I didn't get it. And then when my agent said, oh, you got it, and they're sending the script over, I'd forgotten what character I played.

Because I figured in the test I did with Harrison in the cockpit, he was the leading man. I seemed to be his annoying sidekick. So when I read it, the title page said, The Adventures of Luke Starkiller as Taken from the Journal of the Wills, Saga No. 1, The Star Wars.
