Mark Hamilton Favorite Quotations

We got to play to a crowd of Lucasfilm, LucasArts and ILM employees straight after their work hours and it was surprisingly good fun, ... Our song 'Clones' from Republic Commando and our cover of ' Cantina Band ' went down like a storm. We had props of Darth Vader , a stormtrooper and R2-D2 brought out of the archives and put on stage with us, as we played a short half hour set. Artoo is well aware he's my favorite so he obviously had to hang out stage left.

Hopefully, we'll see all our favorite bounty hunters from Empire and others including Aura Sing searching the galaxy in the hunt for the scalps of any remaining Jedi, ... Maybe we'll see how Yoda ends up on Dagobah and what Alderaan does to annoy the Empire sufficiently to have it destroyed.

Ash was in the States on tour just before Celebration III, so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to stay a few days extra and go as there is nothing like that in Europe, ... I went with some friends from LucasArts (who we got to know through Republic Commando ) and they got me an all-access pass which was sweet. It was an amazing time! The 501st's costumes were fantastic, the presentation of Revenge of the Sith footage whipped everyone into frenzy and George's announcement of the TV series was music to everyone's ears. I loved the Droid Builder's room and it was hard to curb the spending in the exhibition hall. My favorite moment was watching a toddler looking up at Red Royal Guard, awestruck, as her ice cream fell to the floor.

We went for a late night walk around the grounds and lake; it was so tranquil and silent, ... The inn itself is a privilege to stay in. Each room is uniquely decorated and named after a person of great inspiration to George. There is a great stone fireplace were you can sit up late and drink and talk. But my favorite part of the whole Ranch has to be the atmosphere. Everyone you meet is happy to be there, and the views are amazing. The Ranch is possibly one of the most serene, beautiful places I've ever been to. Thousands of acres of rolling grass hills, forest, lakes and wildlife. Then you have these amazing state-of-the-art buildings. Big Rock Ranch is also a stunning building like an enormous Japanese ski lodge. What a place to work; the toy-licensing department is where I can see my self one day!

It was interesting to see that Bail Organa only ordered for C-3PO's memory to be wiped, ... That says a lot about Artoo and how much he knows in the later episodes. After all, Artoo is my favorite character. He's a cheeky upstart but saves the day so many times. He's courageous, takes a right battering but never complains, just gets on with it. You can bet he's a blast to party with and the one the girls all love.
