Star Wars Fun Fact
Surprising or little known Star Wars tidbits, sometimes related to today’s Force Feature.Wishing a happy early birthday to Richard Edlund, who turns 74 tomorrow! Why is he such a big deal? For those of you who don’t recall, here’s from Wookieepedia:
On the strength of a couple of short films he was picked by John Dykstra to work as first cameraman at the embryonic Industrial Light & Magic on the production of the first of the Star Wars films for which he shared an Academy Award.
Edlund continued to work with Dykstra on Battlestar Galactica but was invited back by George Lucas to work on The Empire Strikes Back. Edlund’s considerable technical challenge on this film was to optically composite miniatures against a white background, resulting in a second Academy Award. Edlund also did distinguished work for Lucas and ILM on Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Poltergeist series.
