00:01None of it means anything.

00:06I kind of 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 Guinness.

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

00:26like kids playing in the back garden.

00:28And I was like, holy shit, look at this, what's going on?

00:32How many actors can say that they've got their own action figures?

00:36I said, George, how do you want me to play this?

00:39He said, well, play it like they do in the movies.

00:43I took the afternoon off, up to Pinewood Studios,

00:46and knocked on the door.

00:47Then, within the week, I got a call to be in Star Wars.

00:52It was just a nightmare. I mean, it just turned into a sh...

00:55Not everything's going to stay in the film.

00:57And I was quite angry and hurt.

00:59I suffered from, like, terrible depression, you know.

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

01:03was really going to this convention.

01:05He said, I'm paying 300 pounds.

01:07Well, doing what? He said, sign an autograph.

01:10I said, are you for real?

01:13There's quite a lot of politicking.

01:15It's all to do with money.

01:16They get just kind of jealous that you're taking a piece of their action.

01:18My face was in the movie, you know.

01:20Jeremy's got a bucket of his head.

01:21What's that about?

01:22Well, that's purely because it's Boba Fett.

01:24I can't say any more than that.

01:25It's not my fault.

01:27Fans all over the world are generally just brilliant.

01:30Come on, some of them are right off the wall.

01:32The little bit Mr. Bullock let you, you made a slight look.

01:36I said yes, I was waiting for lunch.

01:40You become friends.

01:41I just treat everybody the same.

01:43I really didn't have that driving ambition to succeed.

01:46Maybe that's where I've been going wrong.

01:51Star Wars is my main source of income.

01:53It's better than sitting there on your house waiting for all the heat to overtake you.

01:58You don't want to be classified just as an ex-X-Wing pilot.

02:03It's a piece of us, or it's a piece of, you know, what somebody's life is.

02:09I 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.

02:20You kind of just go, you know, move on, you know.

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