I didn't see any mention here. If I missed something, please merge or remove if needed. Grant McCune has passed away from cancer on Monday December 27th. He worked with Dykstra on Star Wars and specialized in R2-D2 and miniatures, for which an Academy Award was won. He also was a Death Star Gunner in the film.
