I remember being very overwhelmed by the idea of doing something on this scale alone, but then it also being a “Star Wars” movie, and calling J.J. and talking. It’s kind of overwhelming, and I remember him saying, “Well, you know, with anything, we’ll break it into moments, and we’ll solve one moment, and that’ll lead to this moment, and that’ll lead to this moment, and then hopefully at the end of it, we’ll have a movie.” And I said, “Oh, of course.” Even though it is a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and has this franchise title, it’s really just like working on anything else. You have to ground it into something real, and make it make sense. And then hopefully tell the story that everyone’s kind of agreed on, the best you can.
