Overview

• Winstone recalls arriving "pissed" to read for Ruwee Naberrie, the small role of Padmé Amidala’s father in the prequel era.
• He says George Lucas yawned throughout the session, after which Winstone quipped that they should both take a brief sleep and he would leave.
• The role ultimately went to Australian actor Graeme Blundell, who appears in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.
• Winstone says he later worked with Lucas on Indiana Jones and that the earlier incident was not remembered or not taken to heart.
• He adds he has no regrets about missing the part, saying extensive bluescreen and effects-heavy shoots do not appeal to him.
