Mustafar Lava Fields, large scale, foam carved set for Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, c. Lucasfilm Ltd.
I was lucky enough to have worked on Episode III in 2004 in the ILM model shop model making the large sets for the Mustafar lava fields. George walked through several times during the build. Even got to watch the movie with George three rows behind me at the cast and crew screening. Also got to watch him direct the scene when Chewy sent Yoda off in his rocket to Dagobah..

That’s me in the bunny suit carving the foam set.

Mind blowing experience, dream come true, I thank the galaxy far far away..
Queen Amadala guard/trooper design I did for EP I, in 1996 in anticipation to join the JAK Films crew, (code name of the company for EP1).. I was in touch with them and I was told I was on a very short list to join the crew. That didn't happen but looks to me like my design maquette influenced the "look" of these designs that made it into the final film.
