Patrick Stewart said the stars were shining on you as an ensemble group.

Yeah. It�s a rare thing, I think. It�s nothing that can be really orchestrated. You can hire the best actors and you can hope they get along, but there�s something magical about this group, that it really is one of those times when the sum is greater than the individual parts.

When we do this next movie it will have been three years since we put on those space suits, but I guarantee you the very first day it�s immediate. It�s absolutely instantaneous. We really know who these characters are. Much better than anyone - including the people who created them.
