You’ve seen how they make movies like Star Wars and stuff. They’re never really there. They’re in front of a green screen just pretending to be jumping around.

Meaning of the quote

When you watch movies like Star Wars, the actors aren't actually in the locations you see on screen. They're standing in front of a green screen, which is like a big green wall, and just pretending to be doing all the exciting things you see in the movie. The special effects and computer graphics are what make it look like they're really there.
