Fans Quote by Katy O'Brian
“So far, every set that I've worked on in 'Star Wars' or Marvel has been very welcoming. They've made everything very easy. Then there's this whole thing where you're in the episode, and fans are going to love it or hate it. That's probably the hardest part - the feedback that you might get, positive or not.”

![“It was when Boston invited us to do a parade one November, and I was the only [Star Wars] cast member skeptical of the willingness of people to come out to see us five actors drive by in antique cars in the Boston rain. Well, it was the first time I really understood the show's popularity.” quote by John Ratzenberger](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/098/john-ratzenberger-11869_actors_it-was-when-boston-invited-us-to-do-a-pa_67396.jpg)
