"Just this morning, I was watching my 8-year-old son build yet another Star Wars ship out of LEGOs. I asked him if it ever bothered him that none of the things he liked so much about Star Wars were actually real. I asked him if he wouldn't like to someday have a real light saber, fly in a real spaceship with hyperdrive, visit real cities on other planets, or meet other real alien lifeforms. He actually thought about it for 10-15 seconds and then surprised me with his answer, 'You know what, Dad, you're right: I think I want to be a scientist when I grow up so I can invent or discover all those things!'" -- Guillermo Sohnlein, 2009-01-24
