00:01None of it means anything.

00:06I can't thought it was a low-budget film to begin with.

00:09It was just like another job except you look weird.

00:12I got dressed in the costume. They put bits on it.

00:15I thought, cool, this looks good.

00:17There wasn't a lot of certainty as to what it would be.

00:20I had an invite to go for lunch with Alec Innes.

00:23We used to go and sort of practice the fight together,

00:25like kids fighting in the back garden.

00:27And I was like, holy shit, look at this, what's going on?

00:31How many actors can say that they've got their own action figures?

00:35I said, George, how do you want me to play this?

00:38He said, well, play it like they do in the movies.

00:42I took the afternoon off, up to Pinewood Studios,

00:45and knocked on the door.

00:46Then within a week, I got a call to be in Star Wars.

00:51It was just a nightmare. I mean, it just turned into a sh...

00:54Not everything's going to stay in a film.

00:56And I was quite angry and hurt.

00:58I suffered from, like, terrible depression, you know?

01:00The only thing that really got me out of this house

01:02was really going and doing this convention.

01:04He said, I'll pay you 300 pounds.

01:06Well, to him what? He said, sign an autograph.

01:08I said, are you for real?

01:10There's quite a lot of politicking.

01:12It's all to do with money.

01:13They get just kind of jealous

01:14that you're taking a piece of their action.

01:16My face was in the movie, you know?

01:17Jeremy's got a bucket of his head.

01:18What's that about?

01:19Well, that's purely because it's Boba Fett.

01:20I can't say any more than that.

01:21It's not my fault.

01:22Fans all over the world are generally just brilliant.

01:26Come on, some of them are right off the wall.

01:28The little bit, Mr. Bullock, that you made a slight look.

01:32I said, yes, I was waiting for lunch.

01:34You become friends.

01:35I just treat everybody the same.

01:36I really didn't have that driving ambition to succeed.

01:39Maybe that's where I've been going wrong.

01:42Star Wars is my main source of income.

01:43It's better than sitting on your ass waiting for all the heat to overtake you.

01:56You don't want to be classified just as an ex-X-Wing pilot.

02:01It's a piece of us or it's a piece of, you know, what somebody's life is.

02:07I was in with the helmet on and walking around and then finally stopping with George Lucas.

02:14He said, welcome aboard.

02:16It's not a big role, but I think you'll have some fun.

02:19You kind of just go, you know, move on.

02:22As the San Trooper says, move along.
