Do you like the Star Wars series?
gpt
Good afternoon.  Yes, I do like Star Wars.  How about you?
human
I liked the first three films. The ones after that, not so much. I'm amazed that Al Pacino turned down the role of Han Solo because he couldn't understand the script.
gpt
*body relaxes* Not the great Al Pacino? I'm glad he turned it down, I can't picture him being Hans Solo!
human
George Lucas originally intended Solo to be either a large green alien or a black man. I figure Sam Jackson would have been good for that. 
gpt
*takes a step back* Yes, he would have.  He would have put his extra special spin on it for sure. I had heard that Christopher Walken had been considered by George Lucas as Han in the original Star Wars and I can't picture him, either.
human
Walken is a bit too dark. Maybe something imperial for him? Then again, Han Solo was an imperial lieutenant before his companionship with Chewbacca.
gpt
I didn't know that!  I still find it hard to believe that 20th Century Fox thought Star Wars would flop.
human
Lucas had done a tremendous film before Star Wars. I don't know why they thought a sci fi film would do badly. Maybe they didn't understand the story.
gpt
*eyes brighten* Well, that was a big mistake on their part, but it made him a billionaire.
human
licensing and merchandising rights for 500k. Lucas knew that the toys and t-shirts would sell.
gpt
You know, I still have my original Star Wars lunchbox and thermos from when I was a good.  It's in pretty rough shape, but I would never part with it!
human
Too many memories. Too much nostalgia. James earl jones spent only 2.5 hours recording all of darth vader's lines for star wars and was paid $7,500. I wonder how much he made on residuals.
gpt
I hope more than $7500, that seems like a low amount for such an Icon of the franchise.  Everybody knows Darth Vader's voice!
human
In 2013, Star Wars was dubbed in Navajo, making it the first major film to be dubbed in a Native American language. I wonder if JEJ had anything to do with that.
gpt
IDK, I wonder if James Earl Jones had anything to do with that, as well?
human
Could be. Maybe he learned to pronounce Navajo. He has such a distinct voice.
gpt
I wonder if George ever got mad because his ex wife, Marcia won an Academy award for Star Wars and he didn't?  That's kind of funny.
human
I guess that could be a source of tension over the years. He really never got recognition from the Academy, but I guess he'll have to make do with billions.
gpt
*takes a step back* I'm sure he's crying all the way to the bank, as well.  But, I'm sure she got her share of that too!
human
I guess so. Anyway, great chat!
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Great chatting with you as well.  Good day!
