Thanks for posting the interview, mania. But is it just me, or does Kazanjian not really sound like he knows of what he speaks? He looks at the blank space in the matte painting and thinks it's unfinished? Clearly, he must know how matte paintings work/worked? And I thought his comment about the ships' proximity to Jabba's was interesting... can Jabba's be seen in the painting? I looked at the painting for a solid 30 seconds and couldn't find anything looking like a palace...
So we have Lucas saying it was Hamill, Hamill saying it wasn't and then saying it was, and Kazanjian saying it wasn't. Whom do we believe?
