    During the filming of Star Wars, Alec Guinness refused to read the entire script for the film, called George Lucas a "nerd", and forced him to add a scene where Obi-Wan dies so that he wouldn't have to return for the sequel.

      He talked quite highly of them at points too though, I watched an interview the other day where he said that although it was total schlock, he immediately believed it was going to make it big (although he didn't know it would get as huge as it did).

      I like Harrison Ford's interview about who shot first, where he says that he doesn't give a shit.

        all of the "facts" in my above post are fake.

          _Lucas actually killed him off well into production iirc, which was a big decision for him and he went back and forth. Iirc Alec was fine with it cause big actors getting to do death scenes is kinda a thing __
