They would want to be in it. The First half hour had to be extraordinarily successful and Beyond Reason .
" It had to be a strange kind of joyous. It is all the impossibilities that are playing together, and that is what makes it Star Wars . It is so many layers that the different characters showed that they are different but doing this giant parody at the same time. "
