- "Jon pitched it as, 'Kids lost in the Star Wars universe. And there's a bunch of pirates.' I was like, 'Cool. I just finished a Peter Pan movie, I'm in the pirate world.' You were like, 'There's a robot named SM-33.' I said, 'Oh, 'Smee', that's very Peter Pan.' And then: 'Jude Law is going to star.' I was like, 'Oh! I think I just made this?' To do it again in Star Wars was a dream come true."
- ―David Lowery
