Joan Chen: What was the Star Wars casting process like?
The casting process was long and Hayden returned for 4 or 5 call-backs. He had a meeting with Robin Gurland and then on another trip he met with George Lucas at the Skywalker Ranch. Hayden recalled that meeting with Lucas at Skywalker Ranch for the first time was a very surreal experience. He also felt a bit overwhelmed when he finally met Natalie for their audition together.
Joan Chen: Mentioned how she hates auditions and wondered if Hayden remembered any nerve wracking moments during the Star Wars process.
Hayden said he was very nervous with butterflies in his stomach and at one point got a frog in his throat and briefly lost his voice while auditioning with Natalie Portman. Joan Chen also recalled a story she heard that Hayden threw up on the way to the ranch. Hayden made light of it and said he wasn't going to bring that up but it did happen.
In another interesting behind the scenes story, Hayden said that Robert De Niro showed up to the set the day they filmed the end of the fight scene where Obi Wan cuts down Anakin on the shore of Mustafar. De Niro came up to him while he was doing push-ups and said he does the same thing when getting ready for a scene. Hayden said there were a lot of neat people that showed up to the set to watch the filming just because it was Star Wars and they wanted to see it first hand.
Hayden and Anthony Daniels took a few questions from the audience and were asked about the new Star Wars movies to be produced by Disney and directed by JJ Abrams. Specifically asked about their participation, Hayden said he probably would not be in the movies especially since Darth Vader died in Episode VI. Anthony Daniels said that he has appeared in all of the past six movies but hasn't gotten a call about appearing.
Joan Chen: Wanted to know what Hayden learned the most as an actor during the two movies.
“It was the most incredible learning experience I could have asked for. I got to watch George Lucas, amazing visionary storyteller work, and I got to work with him and seeing his process and how he goes about making his decisions and that was what was most interesting...was watching him craft his stories and make them into these amazing movies...was the greatest learning experience.”
