yeah , I thought it was vitriolic too , on a somewhat related tangent to the topic at hand, I find this conversation with Marcia Lucas and Ben Burtt in this video very interesting . Starts at the one hour mark and goes on for about 15 minutes …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOxfmq0nCEs
Quality mate - thanks for posting that, an intriguing and informative watch. Always good to hear Marcia talk about her work on the Original Trilogy.
And also hearing Marcia talk about introducing a ‘time-clock’ to the Death Star ‘Trench Run’ attack scenes to give them more tension too.
