In this episode, we take it back to the very beginning and talk to Academy Award winner Roger Christian, who was one of the first people ever to get hired onto Star Wars. We try not to freak out while talking about the origins of Blue Milk, C-3PO’s eyes, R2-D2 and, of course the original lightsaber.
Try to count how many times we use “incredible” during this interview, especially when we talk about Roger’s incredible book: Cinema Alchemist. Detailing his time on the Star Wars set, as well as Monty Python, Alien and more, it is truly an important book for any fan: www.amazon.com/Cinema-Alchemist-Designing-Star-Alien

Thanks for tuning in and, until next Wednesday, may the Force be with us!
