And by the way, I haven't heard that since I saw the movie. See, I see the movies once or twice, but I never go back and watch them again. So what's it like hearing that? Well, I'm reminded of all of it. And for instance, in 1997 is when he put out the special editions and re-released them in the theater.

And it was kind of lonely because I think the most just pure out fun I had working on the original trilogy was when Harrison, Carrie and I were all on the Death Star running around.

I keep R2, but I go off to Dagobah and, you know, there would be separate call sheets, you know. On the main call sheet was Kerry and Harrison, Peter Cushing, whoever it might be.

And so various actors would come, you know, female actors would come in and read the role. And after, I don't know, four or five auditions, I said, you know, Milos, I've done this role. I did the first national tour and then I did it on Broadway.
