I've never seen the first three 'Star Wars' movies. It's just not really my genre.

I was always like, 'No, I don't like sci-fi,' and then I started watching it and thought, I didn't know that's what it was. I think I'd somehow got it confused with action and space-travel action - that sci-fi could only be like 'Star Wars.'

As a child I always steered clear of science fiction, but in the autumn of 1977, the bow-wave of publicity for the first 'Star Wars' movie had already reached me, so I was eager for anything science-fictional.

I haven't done the Star Wars kind of films.

I grew up with 'Star Wars' and was a massive fan of the original films.

I'm not gonna lie: I was not a big 'Star Wars' geek.

'Star Wars' is more fairy tale than true science fiction.

I was a total sci-fi geek. 'Star Wars' was my ultimate favorite.

Perhaps the most significant thing George Lucas did in creating 'Star Wars' was to fictionalize the Tao - to spark a universe where we can talk about the Force in objective terms and show it in direct action.
