George Lucas on how Anakin got his scar:
“I don’t know. I just put it there. I think Anakin got it slipping in the bathtub, but of course, he’s not going to tell anybody that.”
Nicolas Cage on Hayden Christensen’s performance in the Star Wars prequels:
“I saw the work that Hayden did with George [Lucas], and I was very impressed with Hayden's…edgy, dangerous, dark, and still soulful performance. I thought it was superb…I really connected with him."
Ewan McGregor says he wants to play Obi-Wan again after the finale of the limited series:
“I hope it’s not the last time I play him. I had such a great time doing this. I'm sure we can think of a few more stories before I turn into Alec Guinness, don't you think?"

Did you know? Anakin says to Grievous in Revenge of the Sith, “You’re shorter than I expected,” indicating this was their first meeting. Due to this line of dialogue, Dave Filoni had to keep these characters apart for 133 episodes and 1 movie of The Clone Wars
Dave Filoni will direct a Star Wars movie set in between Episodes VI and VII that will be a culminating event for the plot threads in The Mandalorian and other shows. The movie will draw upon Legends / Expanded Universe and tell the story of an “epic battle”…
THE ACOLYTE is “set 100 years before The Phantom Menace and follows a former Jedi padawan and her master as they investigate a series of crimes that will eventually tie into how the Sith infiltrated the Republic in the Prequel Trilogy.”

Ewan McGregor on the prequels’ reception:
“After the experience of making the first three films and living through…their reception…which wasn’t always glowing…And then now, meeting the generation who we made those films for…To them, they’re their Star Wars films, you know?”
Mary Elizabeth Winstead on how her husband Ewan McGregor reacted to her being cast as Hera in AHSOKA
"He was just so happy & excited for me…He's just like, 'There's just nothing else like being embraced by this community & being a part of it. It's just such a special thing.'"
George Lucas on the prequels:
“People expected…Anakin turns into Vader to be Episode I. And then they expected Episodes II and III to be Darth Vader…terrorizing the universe. But how did he get to be Vader? You have to explore his relationships, and see where he started.”

Part Five is jaw-dropping. Epic, emotional, beautiful, hopeful. Everything you could wish for in a Star Wars story. Get ready to rewatch some moments again and again. 🧡💙
Carl Weathers is such a devastating loss.
He was not only a great actor in Star Wars, but a great director. He helmed Chapters 12 and 20 of The Mandalorian.
Beyond that, he always championed inclusivity and equality with such authenticity. He will be missed 💜
