Hi,

As PopCornMovie implies, I'm a gigantic fan of movies, motion pictures, cinema and the people who create in front of and behind the camera. Although I'm now an art historian, when I saw Star Wars as a child, it was love at first sight and I wanted to join the Rebels.

The story of Star Wars touched me, seemed to reflect what I was struggling with. Good and evil. Leaving the comfort of home for the adventure of life. And much more. It felt like I saw life though the eyes of Mark Hamill.

But what really astonished me was how the film looked. And most of all what I learned were called the "Visual Effects", which at the time were simply Magic to me. Over the years I searched for "how they did that" and then "who did those Visual Effects".

As I met and talked with the different people who worked don the movie, it felt like who did what and how they did it was something the world, and certainly other Star Wars fans, would also find both fascinating and intriguing.

After all, the Star Wars Visual Effects creators made it possible to the George Lucas's vision to reach the silver screen and many millions of people of all ages, many of whom also fell in love with the spirit and feel of the Star Wars universe.

My training as an art historian has had the side benefit of learning how to research what happened long ago.

I hope you enjoy my meager contributions on Star Wars and some of the other movies I'll be contributing to Wikipedia.
