the Star wars history is just so cool.... My son and I have all the
16mm movies on the making of Star wars and I think it will be fun to
watch thm in the backyard soon seeing the original creature makers like
Phil Tippett and the logistist that went into those films are so great
to see.
We were able to meet Rick Mccallum in denver and also Drew Struzan Bot
great people..

In the mid-90s I had a private tour of Skywalker Ranch. It was/is an
amazing place.
A friend of a friend was the HR manager, and we spent about 2 hours touring.
We were in George's personal conf room, which was a high-tech state of the
art room, for the time.
Outside the room was a big case with the coolest of the cool -- Indy's whip,
hat and jacket, Vader's and Luke's light sabers, etc.
One very nice aspect of the ranch is that, even though there are a lot ob
buildings, you can't see another building if you are at one. George's idea.
We went through Skywalker Sound and they were scoring a new Dino movie,
which was Jurassic Park 2. Since I'm a producer, I asked her about a job.
She said I could start almost right away. But, the cost of living in N. CA
is outta site, and the pay is very bad, because everyone wants to work
there. So, they don't really need to pay much. Many people will start
there, stay for a while to get it on their resume, then move on. It WAS
tempting, but I opted not to do it.
We ended up in the employee store. I bought multiple posters of the Star
Wars Trilogy, an animated Darth Vader bank ($12!) a few tee- shirts and
hats. And, I took lots of pix.
But, it was a very memorable day!

I was reading a movie web site that mentioned a tour of LUCAS's Skywalker
Ranch. The copy mentions a bunch of international one sheets. I guess
George collects international paper.
Here is the article.

We left the theater at this point and looked around ILM a bit. Lucas
apparently collects foreign posters and there large framed Italian posters
up everywhere. Everything from early Kurosawa movies to obscure Italian
noirs to the Sergio Leone Man With No Name Trilogy. I myself collect foreign
posters and have many Italian posters, so I was, of course, drawn to them.
Best,
Ira
