The prequels have given me even more respect for Mark Hamill because I really think he threw himself into a role with such dedication that tricky dialogue felt natural from him.

When I first saw Rush in the early 90’s they had been built up so much in my mind that I honestly felt they couldn’t be really there in person. It was like seeing George Washington in person or something.

That’s what bothers me the most, I think.
