"Some people only got bits of the script they were in. When shooting ROJ, I spent part of the morning sharing a bacon roll with Mon Mothma (actually, we had one each, but you know what I mean) and explaining the facts of life to her, at least as far as the script went. Caroline Blackestone [sic] is a highly respected classical actress but, after rehearsals, admitted to me that she hadn't a clue what she was talking about in her speech to such an oddly assorted, partially rubberised audience. Without the full text, where did Endor fit in and what was a Bothan? And what terrible accident had happened to Ackbar to make him look like that? Even with a script I could only answer the first part. Anyway I filled her in. It was pretty brave of me. We could both have been shot."
