My experience of ships is that on them one makes an interesting discovery about the world. One finds one can do without it completely.

The great difference between voyages rests not with the ships, but with the people you meet on them.

Star Wars was magnificent, but you could tell Darth Vader's ships were glued together.

It all depended on the cut. Some of them were really on the ship. Some were really on the set. Like if they had the stars for a week, the stars coming off, that was usually on the set, except if we were on location for that particular show.

The great dream merchant Disney was a success because make-believe was what everyone seemed to need in a spiritually empty land.

The more ships have grown in size and consequence, the more their place in our imagination has shrunk.

They make glorious shipwreck who are lost in seeking worlds.

Ships are like children: they need individual attention.

Other effects in the show included models of the ships which were extremely expensive to make. We used to do our shots in front of a blue screen and they'd put the effects on after.
