		Before Star Wars was released, Dykstra told an interviewer that the final battle sequence would be every bit as exciting as The French Connection car chase.
		On Star Wars we had over 950 people working for us and I would tell a department head and he would tell another assistant department head, he'd tell some guy, and by the time it got down the line it was not there.
		In Star Wars I really wanted to get into the robots and their problems in life; a little equal time for robots, who have taken a lot of shit over the years and have never really had a chance to prove themselves.

		I'm basing my current langauge (named Bruceish after my real first name for lack of a better word) on my old language (which I made out of thoughts in my head), but it is significantly easier for humans to speak since it no longer relies on a system of tounge and throat clicks.

		languages, and the deduction of detailed grammar and translations of the available texts will be left for future consideration by other writers.
		A natural language develops in such a way that the most frequently used concepts are represented by few letters, which minimises the efforts of speakers.

		It can hardly be a coincidence that the runic alphabet, in which the earliest attested Germanic languages are written, is also called Futhark, because the first letters of the alphabet are F, U, Th, A, R, and K. But I just had another revelation recently about the name Anakin.
