When they gave the sides to Harrison Ford and to them and the reveal was in there that Vader is Luke's dad, Harrison Ford said back to George Lucas, did you just make that up on the plane? Like, did you just make that up? Because they were trying to keep it a secret.

When they gave them the thing that that was happening, there are people who think that the fact that he had all of this stuff sketched out is actually not true. It doesn't make a difference now, but there are people who think that that's not the case.

He's already 2-0 against him. Well, it finishes 2-1. It finishes 2-1. With a loud 1. I am still, after all of these years of being a Star Wars fan, unclear as to why Kenobi did it. Still unclear. Because he has to do it for Luke to fulfill his destiny?

I guess my thing is they would have escaped anyway because all of the stormtroopers... Because they were letting them go. Actually, the fact that he gets cut down is what makes the stormtroopers turn around because Luke then freaks out and they go, oh my God, they're getting away. So I've never...
