That aesthetic of the Star Wars universe: the do-it-yourself, hotrod ethic that George Lucas exported from his childhood, is exactly the same kind of soul behind what we do and build for the show. It may not look pretty, but it gets the job done.

I'm not a sculptor; I'm a hard-edged model maker. You give me a drawing, you give me a prop to replicate, you give me a crane, scaffolding, parts from 'Star Wars' - especially parts from 'Star Wars' - I can do this stuff all day long. It's exactly how I made my living for 15 years.

We're allowed to explore the world at large on these things; the urban-legend aspect of it is just kind of an excuse.

The only thing that differentiates you and me from a couple of fourteen year old pyromaniacs is balistic glass!

Deadlines refine the mind. They remove variables like exotic materials and processes that take too long. The closer the deadline, the more likely you'll start thinking waaay outside the box.

That was excellent! I mean, it didn't do anything, but it looked really cool!

We are always works in progress. You will hurt people you love, and help people you detest. This is called being a human and it happens to everyone.
