When you're the main character but you spend half your time in the background reacting to everyone else's bullshit.
Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker STAR WARS: EPISODE IV - A NEW HOPE dir. George Lucas
“This was the most physically taxing of all the film because of the lightsaber duels. Everytime I wasn’t shooting, I was rehearsing. Something that took weeks and weeks to shoot, even though it only lasts a few minutes on film. So it taxed me to the limit.”

Sometimes it’s the people you don’t notice who matter just as much:
The guy in the Great Britain track suit teaching Mark Hamill how to handle a light sabre is Bob Anderson, British Olympian fencer and national coach, and fight choreographer extraordinaire. He doubled for David Prowse as Darth Vader in all the light sabre duel scenes in the original SW trilogy and was the fight director for The Princess Bride. A great coach and a wonderful human. I was fortunate to train with him a few times after he moved to Canada, and he introduced me to his favourite club in London before we moved there; I owe him a number of life-long friends. Bob passed away in 2012.

This is so funny, mostly bc it’s another reason why George Lucas is a dumbass
“I would love to give my deepest respects to the super-cool space sis I have in Carrie Frances Fisher. We were like siblings, the good and the bad. We’d have huge fights, (saying) ‘You’re such a phony,’ but we loved each other and what a great thrill it was to come back for The Force Awakens at that time in our lives. There’s a comfort level with each other. We could rely on each other, and there’s a deep respect.” – Mark Hamill

This is a common refrain among the new generation of Star Wars actors: that Fisher was the one who taught them how to deal. Boyega recalled that when there was a backlash against his appearance in the first Force Awakens teaser trailer, released in November 2014—the sight of a black man in stormtrooper armor drew ire from racists and doctrinaire Star Wars traditionalists—Fisher counseled him not to take it to heart. “I remember—and forgive me, I’m going to drop the f-bomb, but that’s just Carrie—she said, ‘Ah, boohoo, who fuckin’ cares? You just do you,’ ” he said. “Words like that give you strength. I bore witness in a million ways to her sharing her wisdom with Daisy too.”
