...required, was a bit rudimentary. The first scene, in which some of the main philosophical problems of the play are set out, is constructed so that two or three dialogues occur at the same time, though no two people speak simultaneously.

Lucas knows that characters--unlike many sci-fi special effects extravaganzas--are the key Star Wars' success. Thus, he casts B-list stars that blend into the Star Wars world without ruining the illusion...
