Episode II: Metaphorically Speaking
This report comes from the Homing Beacon #15
How can one describe the energy, stress, excitement, frustration, and scope of being on set and making a new Star Wars movie?
"It's like the big bang theory--a huge explosion which is eventually going to create something beautiful, but the only one who knows what it's actually going to be is the creator of the explosion." - Ahmed Best, Actor
"It's like the traveling on the Titanic -- it's incredibly exciting and romantic and we won't know whether or not it will sink until the film comes out. You're going along as the captain of the ship saying everything is fine and wonderful and not to worry, but you know as the captain of the ship that there are many icebergs and treacherous obstacles you have to cleverly weave your way through, without upsetting or disturbing the passengers." - George Lucas, Writer and Director
"A giant locomotive, fuelled by the imagination and energy of so many, powering its way inexorably across the galaxy -- to a theater near you... It's like being in a giant vat of minestrone and only the chef knows what's in it ... or perhaps like a lavish banquet but only the chef really knows what's on the menu; I'd skip lunch if I were you." - Anthony Daniels, Actor
