Star Wars Quotes
George Lucas: I think we were, like, two weeks overschedule. At that point the board of directors, at Fox, started to panic, and tell Allen Ladd Jr. that he had to shut that film down; regardless. And so he came to me and said, listen, you've got to finish in the next week, 'caus I've got another board meeting, and I can't go in there and say we're still shooting.
Movie: Star Wars
Himself - Producer: I kept going on their phone, to the production department, 'this is insane, if we put on a second crew to do this, it costs us more than to go for an extra week. And they said, it doesn't matter, the studio's opinion is that the day deadline is more important than the money you spend.
Movie: Star Wars
Narrator: The final scenes were filmed at breakneck speed, with Lucas frantically bicycling from one soundstage to another.
Movie: Star Wars
Narrator: With no chance of being ready fby Christmas, a new release date was set for summer, 1977. Some doubted that the film would ever reach theaters. But as bad as things had been with the editing, the situation at ILM was even worse. The company had been trying to create effects that had never been done before. They knew what they wanted to accomplish, but they had yet to create anything usable for the film.
Movie: Star Wars
George Lucas: [about ILM's troubles] They had spent half of their budget, and ultimately I had about for shots, none of which I would accept. They were just not good. That was just pretty much of a low point. I had no special effects, and I didn't even know if we were going to get the ships to work. So it was a pretty desperate time, and we had spent half the budget, ya' know, building the motion control cameras and setting the shop up, and it was a disaster; to say the least.
Movie: Star Wars
Narrator: When word of the various post production problems reached the Fox board of directors, they decided they'd had enough of George Lucas, and that science movie.
Movie: Star Wars
Himself - Former Studio Chief, 20th Century Fox: We released in 37 theaters, i think, initially, and broke 36 house records.
Movie: Star Wars
George Lucas: Special effects are just a tool, a means of telling a story. People have a tendency to confuse them as an end to themselves. A Special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing.

Governor Tarkin: The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I have just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away.
General Tagge: But that's impossible. How will the Emperor maintain control without the bureaucracy?
Governor Tarkin: The regional governors now have direct control over their territories. Fear will keep the local systems in line. Fear of this battle station.
