People will be able to watch it as one linear story, which was George's original intention.
I have sort of been holding my breath for the past two years waiting to see how this film is going to turn out,
I try to stay away from the L.A. scene as much as possible. I feel it helps me to better prepare for my roles if I am not too involved in that whole thing.
That is what this film is about. It is about Anakin becoming dark, and all that that entails, ... It gets back to the basics that make 'Star Wars' great. Good versus evil, all that good stuff.
always be very dear to his heart. It's impacted my life, 90 percent for the better.
Last time I was here, I went up to the archives and got shown around, and there was the dark helm, ... I asked if I could put it on and get a picture, which is pretty funny, because I'm wearing this gray track suit and had this enormous helmet on which is just completely disproportionate.
I was looking forward to this film because this was the side of Anakin's character that I was really looking forward to playing ... that sort of transitional phase of his life where he goes to the dark side.
He's truly one of the great filmmakers, and just a visionary storyteller, ... So to get to sort of be a part of his world for these past couple of films has been pretty amazing. I feel greatly indebted to the man.
I nag him every now and then about whether or not I'll get to wear the Darth Vader outfit, and he gives me a little wink-wink, nudge-nudge, that maybe I will,
For me, when I'm making a movie I like to stay in character throughout the day.
I love acting because it's a bit of an escape. It gives you the ability to reinvent yourself. They say that acting is the shy man's revenge.
Actors are observers. They're trying to have an understanding of human sensibility. And how do you have that accurate observation if you regard yourself as someone of great importance? When you're the one constantly being observed, because they view you as a celebrity? It's all wrong.
Everyone has their own approach to how they work.
