His entry, he revealed, was meant to focus on Jabba The Hutt, but the project eventually fell through.“We were doing a lot of stuff, and then it’s not my property, it’s not my money, and then it’s one of those 30 screenplays that goes away,” he said.
“Sometimes I’m bitter, sometimes I’m not. I always turn to my team and say, ‘Good practice, guys.
Good practice. We designed a great world.
We designed great stuff. We learned.’”
