HAPPY THIRTY FIVE YEARS STAR WARS! You’ve managed to keep me fueled with awe, inspiration, and the joys of youth well beyond what you, I, or anyone could’ve expected. Incredible that here in 2012 I find myself handing you down to my children. I expect that they will do the same for their children one day as well. Thanks for all the memories. Keep the fire burning.

(This shot’s one I’ve been thinking about for a while. Finally had time to put it all together today. A lot like the Hoth scene I did a while back, this is not one photo but several. Consider it my small tribute to the spectacular effects compositing that made the original Star Wars trilogy so exciting so long ago.)

  1. Just magnificent! I think this is my favourite. The depth of field is brilliant and the lighting and colour make me feel like I can just reach in and touch them. Such great work.Seriously, you should send this on to George Lucas or the guys at Robot Chicken. 🙂

  2. Thanks guys. Yeah in 3 years of doing these photos a few really stand out. This is definitely one of ’em!
