How does it make you feel to be part of this unprecedented
collaboration of the world's foremost artists working to create the
unique reality of Jedi Knights?
I'm just very glad. You asked about the most exciting challenge of creating
for Jedi Knights? So that's the challenge -- to be a member of such
a team.
Where did you first see Star Wars?
First time I saw StarWars (Empire Strikes Back) was in 1989,
at the video-theater on my university campus. Grayscale VHS copy, with
hard to recognise translation, but I was very impressed.
How did you feel, seeing
Star Wars for the first time?
I felt nothing. No temperature, no luminosity, no sound from next room,
no scents, no hardness of chair... all my feelings were far, far away.
Imagine - you're with the love of your life,
in a tender, romantic moment. The phone rings. It's George Lucas. He
says, "Drop everything and come to Skywalker Ranch!" What do you do?
He'd have to wait till the end of the moment -- the love of my life
has "realtime" priority.
