How can you not love this guy, so classy. And good for him, on getting a piece of the pie.

PS. I know it's old news. But it's better than new, news, ; )

Who is this Alex Guiness guy? He looks just like Alec.

I would love to just have him, Christopher Lee and James Earl Jones in a room talking about.....anything.
Obviously impossible now...but just their voices alone are so magical.

I knew about him getting a percent of the profit, but I don't think I've actually seen this particular clip before.
I can see at the end of it, about the quarter percent....after Star Wars making the big and unexpected bucks....producer going, quarter percent? I know knowing a any extra quarter percent... lol....
He was smart to get all that, and wanting it in writing.

Interesting that Lucas almost had to convince Guiness to come back and do his limited shooting roles for Obi-Wan's ghost scenes in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. I think they were one day of shooting for each of the films.
