He was the father of us all. He invented special effects. For that we all owe him our gratitude. Happy birthday, Georges Méliès.

Just prior to shooting Rancor in Return of the Jedi a big 5K light fell on my hand causing a huge blood blister. We did a number of takes and broke for lunch. My hand was so swollen that I couldn’t remove it. I had to order out and ate lunch with my hand up Rancor’s ass.

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. I BLINK MY EYES IN AMAZEMENT THAT MY MOVIE 'MAD GOD’ HAS BEEN RECIEVED SO WELL. IT’S BEYOND MY WILDEST EXPECTATIONS! I WAS UNCERTAIN AS TO WHETHER 𝐀𝐍𝐘𝐎𝐍𝐄 WOULD LIKE IT. ONE COULD NEVER PITCH AN IDEA LIKE THIS TO A STUDIO. 1/2

Want to thank @Jon_Favreau & Doug Chiang for believing that using stop-motion for the massive 'scrapwalkers' was 'THE WAY.' Think they turned out great, my team had a blast. Can't wait for what Season 3 brings. . . . @CworthDynamics @halhickel @Tippett_Studio @themandalorian

Congrats @Jon_Favreau on the amazing success of @themandalorian. It’s really something. Reminds me of our adventures making the original trilogy back in the day, shootin’ from the hip. I tell you, I’d love to come back on board and get my hands dirty with you guys!

#Pokerface was the best project that has crossed my radar for quite some time.

This whole episode is a love letter to @PhilTippett. Phil’s career is a almanac of the recent history of visual effects, and he’s a true artist. There’s a great doc “Mad Dreams and Monsters” that my friends @MadPoncet & Giles Penso made, highly recommended.

Looked just like that. Everyone laughed. Never got shot.

The mysterious "Lightman" was filmed forty years ago today for Return of the Jedi and pretty much immediately abandoned. @PhilTippett What do you remember about it?
