I`m also involved in the rights of the disabled and do some fundraising for that and I thought it would have been a big boost for the campaign but it couldn`t be worked out.
I`d worked in Clockwork Orange with Stanley Kubrick and since Stanley was such a prestigious director this opened all sorts of doors for me - one of them being Star Wars.
I do remember smiling quite a bit inside it though since I knew it wouldn`t be seen on film - so of course while the poor planet is being blown up I`m smiling and laughing like mad!
