"I can't get my head around the fact that the technology of the first two movies, which are forty years prior to Star Wars, is so much better than any technology they had in Star Wars!"
- David Prowse
About this Quote
This quote by David Prowse talks to the disparity of the technology in the Star Wars franchise. He is revealing his confusion at how the technology in the very first two motion pictures, which happen forty years prior to the events of Star Wars, is advanced than the innovation seen in the Star Wars films. This disparity is a typical criticism of the franchise, as it is tough to understand why the innovation would regress in time. Prowse's quote highlights the confusion that many fans have with the innovation in the Star Wars universe, and how it does not constantly make good sense.
"Visual ideas combined with technology combined with personal interpretation equals photography. Each must hold it's own; if it doesn't, the thing collapses"
"If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it"
