In the mid-90s I had a private tour of Skywalker Ranch. It was/is an amazing place. A friend of a friend was the HR manager, and we spent about 2 hours touring. We were in George's personal conf room, which was a high-tech state of the art room, for the time. Outside the room was a big case with the coolest of the cool -- Indy's whip, hat and jacket, Vader's and Luke's light sabers, etc. One very nice aspect of the ranch is that, even though there are a lot ob buildings, you can't see another building if you are at one. George's idea. We went through Skywalker Sound and they were scoring a new Dino movie, which was Jurassic Park 2. Since I'm a producer, I asked her about a job. She said I could start almost right away. But, the cost of living in N. CA is outta site, and the pay is very bad, because everyone wants to work there. So, they don't really need to pay much. Many people will start there, stay for a while to get it on their resume, then move on. It WAS tempting, but I opted not to do it. We ended up in the employee store. I bought multiple posters of the Star Wars Trilogy, an animated Darth Vader bank ($12!) a few tee- shirts and hats. And, I took lots of pix. But, it was a very memorable day!

Lucas apparently collects foreign posters and there large framed Italian posters up everywhere. Everything from early Kurosawa movies to obscure Italian noirs to the Sergio Leone Man With No Name Trilogy. I myself collect foreign posters and have many Italian posters, so I was, of course, drawn to them. > >Best, > >Ira > > > > Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com > ___________________________________________________________________ > How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List > > Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L > > The author of this message is solely responsible for its content. > > > Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content. -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.
