What You Missed at the 'Star Wars' 40th Anniversary Panel at Star Wars Celebration9 of 18
Sensible But Spontaneous
After viewing a short snippet of his audition tape, Mark Hamill reflected on George Lucas' work at writing dialogue. Recalling a scene that ultimately got cut, Hamill joked that Lucas occasionally wrote words on a page that didn't always sound like something a normal human would say, especially when the dialogue involved highly specific information about the Rebel Alliance or a planet or another term Lucas had concocted. Lucas' more difficult dialogues would make "sense intellectually," Hamill said. "But how do you make it sound spontaneous?!" The more difficult bits of dialogue were a "bit much," Lucas said.
