I actually think George cared a lot more about Star Wars then people think. He just liked having funny names for things and a lot of the actors did as well. If I remember correctly it was Ford who first called it the laser sword. Also sad to hear about Natalie Portman disliking her time as Padme but her character is well loved by little girls around the globe due to the books, comics, and shows. Honestly she should be proud for that at the very least since she was the original Padme. ❤

Maybe the original idea was to call them "laser swords" but then decided to change it to "light sabers" because it sounded better, but then George was used to call them laser swords and it slips from time to time.

[@Deathpool_04]

It was supposedly Alec Guinness who changed it and came up with the name “Lightsaber”. George probably thought “Shit… that’s good” and then used it more times than “Lazer Sword”.

I've read the first couple of drafts of the original script for The Star Wars and that's exactly what happened. They were called laser swords in the early drafts. Calling them light sabers was somebody else's decision.

[@theexcaliburone5933]

Why would she remember her lines? It’s been decades

[@3mi3mi]

She was also attending Harvard during and acting in other roles. There were other things going on in her life and it was a long time ago.

[@shi01]

@@3mi3mi That and also the point that actors experience a movie very differently than the audiance. Some lines she may would remember could be cut and the audience never even heard them. Most actors probably see the finished movie they played a role in exactly once, at the premiere.

[@AndreyKrichevsky]

Forget lines, i've seen an interview with some of the cast of Critical Role where they couldn't even remember what characters they played on some of the shows they were in. We forget that for actors the movies and shows they work on are just that - work. A job they did and then moved on to the next one.

[@ArCgon]

TBH Natalie has "moved on" from Star Wars before, during, and after being in it... As for the start: She once said in an interview that when George Lucas first called her, she didn't even know if she just agreed to act in Star Wars or Star Trek, and which is which... As for the end: pretty much the moment shooting on Episode III wrapped up, she started making V for Vendetta - hence she showed up for Ep3 premiere with a shaved head. And I mean no shade to her. It's just that some of the actors (Mark Hamill, John Boyega), are just like some of the fans - they revere Star Wars as something bigger than a film series; while for others (um, Harrison Ford) it's nothing less, nothing more than a job - and one of many they had during their career. Natalie is in the second camp.

[@hunterkiller1440]

[@rattis]

I feel vindicated by hearing Lucas call Light Sabers "Laser Swords" because it just so happens that, at least back when I was a kid, that's what EVERYONE here in Sweden called them (albeit translated to to swedish, so "Lasersvärd").

Which makes sense given how her character was treated in the films, but honestly I think she should be prouder of being Padme. A lot of young girls look up to her character because of the Clone Wars shows, books, and comics, and she was the original Padme so she should be proud to have started that. ❤

[@cookiecracker2]

Did she change her mind about her role? I thought she liked playing her character at one point.

[@Deathpool_04]

I’m curious, where did she say that she didn’t like her role in Star Wars? Last year, she said she’s open to returning but nobody has asked her to do so. I think she said that it did some damage to her career but I’m not sure if she hated doing the role and from the behind the scene stuff, she looks to be enjoying her time there.

[@gtoyadhatagyab8013]

Yea when you create something, 9 times out 10 you'll forget about some details here and there because you got other details that are more important to think about. The "I said that??" and "I made that??, when??" is something I uttered quite often when talking about old works, lol.

[@greyeyed123]

And then Carrie Fisher could recite any line any time, not because she liked the lines, but because she loved us for loving the movies.

[@hadorstapa]

Here's the thing. Some lines stick in your head as an actor, and some don't. It's often about the lines, not the project; and it might be that one line that you really struggled to learn that gets stuck, while all the other lines that were easy just fade quickly away. Or a scene that took many takes. Which is also why lines from stage productions are so much easier to remember, because you performed them so often. If it's a filmed production, you rehearsed the line half-a-dozen times, performed it enough times for all the angles, and maybe looped it later if the sound wasn't good. On a stage you perform it every day and twice on a Saturday for weeks, if not months, so that sticks better.

[@hawk1481]

Yes, she supposed to be a walk-in recorder

[@raphaelregnault6914]

It's not "Star wars actors", it's fairly common amongst actors. They spend days or weeks learning pages and pages of text and putting intentions behind the words etc. And then, when it's over, when they don't need it anymore, they just let it go because they need to learn new pages of text for another part and the previous ones aren't necessary anymore. That's how memories work. You only truly keep what's important on a daily basis or that caused trauma because then it's treated as critical for survival. The rest goes to the dark in order to make space because even if the human brain is a fantastic memory bank, it's not designed to retain every bit of useless information you encounter during a 80+ year lifespan.

[@TheNodyme]

I always find it interesting how people are amazed about actors forgetting their lines after the production finished. of course they forget their lines over time. actors have to learn a text, say it a few times depending on how many takes needed and then never say it again unless, maybe, it becomes hell of an iconic line. and even then they probably only remember cuz the hype reminded them. like we all had to learn poems and stuff through school, deliver it when needed and never see it again 🤷

[@GabePlaysYT]

I mean, we have to remember that it's been twenty years since the prequel days and Natalie has gone on to do tons of movies since then. Even more so, the prequels weren't exactly in high regard at the time. She had to watch her fellow co-stars like Jake Lloyd (who was bullied so hard that he stopped acting completely), Hayden, and Ahmed Best who played Jar Jar get brutally flamed by the fans and media. I don't blame her for moving on and not really remembering much, especially when so many people were very vocal about how much they didn't like them.

[@malibustacys80085]

I mean a lot of people misquote for example: "Luke, I am your father." Also Lucas is known for some weird dialog. On the other hand Mark Hamill can still say the line: "But I can't turn back! Fear is their greatest defense. I doubt if the actual security is greater than on Aquile Sullust. And what there is, is most likely directed to a large scale assault."

[@hagank1111]

@@MyToastyToast I beg to differ id say Andor was very similar to a lot of old Expanded Universe writing and acting in quality. Back during what was considered the Golden Age of Star Wars. It’s why I love Andor but really Andor and Rogue One are the only two things Disney has going for it. And even then I don’t watch Rogue One as often as I do the Lucas Trilogy. It’s good but it’s not good enough to watch hundreds of times. Andor though I have watched a bit cuz it was very good. Very very good. And yet I wouldn’t say it’s the best Star Wars ever. There is just way to much that came before that it’s based around for it to be. For example, I play BF2 more then I watch Andor because of its story and how much it resides with the story of the Clones without the need of Inhibitor Chips to move a miguffin along. You also have the original Jedi series that I and so many who grew up with it love. A series about a Hero turned Smuggler turned Jedi. Kyle Katarn and his stories were probably some of the best that I remember from my childhood. And even still Andor is at the end of the day a copy of Kyle. This was confirmed by writers who based him off his EU counterpart. Then you also have the Thrawn Trilogy which I have read more often then I have watched Andor. What is to this day considered to be the best trilogy in Star Wars reading. Heir to the Empire is hard to top.
