Friday May 25, 2007 | Obligatory Star Wars Post: I Was In Star Wars | Entertainment |
Since today is the 30th anniversary of Star Wars I am required, by law, to tell my Star Wars story. That's me on the left there, cut and pasted into the Special Edition of Star Wars that came out in 1997. I wrote a web page about it in 1998 and it's still there, looking like I wrote it in 1998. Can you say "looks best when viewed with Mosaic?"
Something that I didn't mention is that I didn't know if I would make the final cut of the movie until I actually saw it in the theater. We had filmed quite a few sequences so I didn't know what to look for, or even where to look, other than somewhere in Mos Eisley. I ended up being quite easy to spot and everyone who came with me saw me right away. I was lucky that you can see my face as most people's faces were covered. The guy on my right was wearing glasses when we filmed that scene and was told to remove them, because glasses don't belong in the Star Wars universe. I guess they worked around his glasses by covering his face with a building. Tough luck, dude.
This was the first scene we filmed and I remember trying to stand as close to the camera as they would let me. We were told to have a conversation so what I'm actually saying to the two other guys was, "If this shot gets into the movie, we'll be right up front!" And I was right!
