AFI Life Achievement Award: A Tribute to George Lucas

William Shatner:
Live long and prosper, George... well, live long, you've prospered enough!

Mark Hamill:
I'm proud to be a part of film history... and a Pez dispenser, an electric toothbrush, and a pair of Underoos.

Carrie Fisher:
Hi, I'm Mrs. Han Solo, and I'm an alcoholic.

Carrie Fisher:
[about George Lucas owning each member of the "Star Wars" cast's likeness] Every time I look in the mirror I have to send you a check for a couple of bucks.

Harrison Ford:
[about making the first "Star Wars" movie] I did once say, "George, you can type this sh*t, but you can't say it!", and of course, that's the year he gets nominated for an Oscar for Best Screenplay.

George Lucas:
I half-way expected a room full of stormtroopers and Princess Leias.

George Lucas:
[about Francis Ford Coppola] Before I met him, I couldn't write a word, and now I'm the King of Wooden Dialogue.

George Lucas:
Children are the key to life, and the key to joy, and the key to happiness, and for teenagers, a key to a nervous breakdown.

Harrison Ford:
[talking about the casting of Raiders of the Lost Ark] As I hear it, Dustin wasn't available; DeNiro wasn't interested; beneath Warren... [Warren Beatty is in the audience]. So they offered it to me. Oh, lucky me. I was up to my ass in snakes, waded through a sea of rats, got my knee crushed by a Flying Wing - all the while watching Steven and George giggle behind the camera. You would think a guy could take a hint.

Harrison Ford:
[on Indiana Jones IV] If you guys can think of more ways to torture me, I'll be there for Indy 4; but George, listen, listen! Get on with it, man! If we wait around too much longer, Sean is going to be much too old to play my father.

George Lucas:
In the end, I think I make movies because I have to. Movies are my life. If I wasn't making movies, I wouldn't be alive. I mean, I wouldn't know what to do.

William Shatner:
[adressing George Lucas] George - it's George, isn't it? May I call you George? Thank you. You can call me Mr. Shatner.

William Shatner:
[to George Lucas] I envy you. I, I really, I really envy you. That hair, I just envy the hair. Is that a dominant gene?

William Shatner:
[performing "My Way" for George Lucas] Regrets, you've had a few. [pause] Anyone see Howard the Duck? [Stormtroopers come to take him away] No, no, the Sith picture, I love that. I love the Sith picture, it's a great Sith picture.
