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?
It is a wonderful feeling. First, I used to be an active Star Wars CCG player. I quit playing cards in order to pursue a career in 3d graphics. I never dreamed I'd end up creating the cards I once used to buy. I've made some friends, I'm having fun, I'm getting paid, and it's all Star Wars! What more could one possibly want in job?!

How does the original Trilogy compare (for you) to Episode 1?
I like the origial Trilogy better. But I'm still hoping George will win me back with Episode 2.

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?
Hopefully the "love of my life" would be very....understanding. :)
