No, I was there during it. I remember the studios were just like... we don't understand why this movie's big head. We don't have anything like this coming out except your movie, Desperado, maybe, because Quentin was in it. And I was like, yeah, yeah, we got our pulse on what people want. He was like, we don't know. So I got to tell you really two things.

First of all, George Lucas told me that, and he's like, I showed him the Sin City thing, because we'd both been early adopters of digital, and DP's, directors of photography, didn't want to even look at digital. They were like, They already spent all their time learning film. By sticking your head in the sand and not seeing where the times are going to the detriment.

Now the cameras are designed and they don't look as good as they could look. But they weren't a part of the conversation. Rob was shooting my own movies. I wasn't going to let some DP who didn't want to get in digital keep me from making Sin City, so I just shot it myself. I figured it out myself. So I showed it to Lucas. He was like, this movie will show people what digital is capable of.

Finally, more than the Star Wars movies I'm doing because it's just so avant-garde and so crazy looking. But I only made it for me. I really wanted to see it made. I didn't, I literally didn't think it would be successful on its theatrical run. In fact, we didn't even test screen it. They're like, can we do a test screen? I'm like, no. What for? Everybody's going to say it's black and white.
