We've got two of your cast members here. Can you talk about the casting process?
George Lucas: When you're casting relative unknowns you just see thousands of people. You see them for five minutes and then you do readings, then you test them on tape, and then you test them on film, and you just do it over and over again for years - until you finally get to a point where you can throw a dart at a dartboard with three or four eight-by-tens and pick one. And you hope that you get lucky, and I got very lucky, 'cause I got a great cast.
Carrie Fisher: I slept with him
Mark Hamill: Who didn't?

Empire magazine produced 30 different covers for the anniversary (i picked up the Leia bikini one hehehe...) - with 10 copies of a limited "Golden Jar Jar Binks cover" in circulation. If you find of these you apparently win something special from the Luca$film archives..........................hopefully the original 35mm reels of the OT! (yeah, right)
EDIT - all 30 covers
