B.L.: When you had the choice for a day with one of all the actors of all 6 movies which one will be your favorite?

B.L.: One last Question,Star Wars VII and J.J. Abrams coming soon, what do you think about and will you watch the next generation of Jedi Knights?
N.J.: Ohhh yes I will certainly watch the next Star Wars movie , I think it will be totally different from the 1st ever as I am sure a great deal of technical / computerised scenes - BUT that is the movie industry of today
