This shopping bag holder looks like Jar-Jar Binks and 19th Century Firefighters Were Darth Vader and C3PO

*Seriously, Jar Jar, Vader - seriously

I continue to love Jar Jar and the Phantom Menace and would fight to the death George’s critics on this. Do you remember what computers looked like in 1999 ( actually more like 1997-8 ) ? That’s when George did the Menace. At the time he was running Lucasfilm ( hey it is a big business ), he was inventing computer graphics, visual FX and visual FX software, the hardware that will run it, CG characters and sets no one has ever attempted before.. and making a movie. Give him a break.

Richard Miller, my sculpture teacher at Lucasfilm always said – push the clay up, because it comes down anyway.. because of gravity

*Seriously, Carrie Fisher, Star Wars, The Lucasfilm Files

He also designed Princess Leia’s gold bikini costume. And provided a letter of authenticity when the bikini sold at auction.

A letter of authenticity from designer Richard Miller, of the Star Wars creator George Lucas’s special effects firm Industrial Light and Magic, was included in the sale to an anonymous bidder by the Hollywood auctioneer Profiles in History on 2 October.

One more thing about Dreams and Louis CK on Flying

*Seriously, My Books

 

I was recently reading on the Wright brothers.. isn’t it amazing that I can read on and use their life experiences in my life today? I try to imagine their contraptions out in a field somewhere in Dayton, Ohio. I lived in Ohio for a bit and can imagine a field… but to setup a Da Vinci style contraption on a hill ( well they commuted to North Carolina for this ) with the intent to get it up in the air past the cows? Ridiculous and at the time the European press ridiculed the brothers calling them “either fliers or liars”.
