The wizard of Skywalker Ranch dropped by ‘The Daily Show’ and made short jokes about the host, explained the appeal of ‘The Clone Wars,’ and said in his early days he assumed that ‘Star Wars’ would be a single film that would be just a passing chapter in his career. ‘It’s not at all what I expected my life to be...I expected to turn into something great. But, you know, you take what you can get.’ He also said that when he’s alone he, uh, likes to dress up like Jar Jar Binks.
