Need an excuse for time wasting that even your boss will accept?

This link is from a fan of "Star Wars" and contains behind-the-scenes photos from ILM.

Also follow this link to a discussion on the creation of Chewbacca:

TOPICS: Books/Literature; History; Music/Entertainment; TV/Movies
KEYWORDS: chewbacca; ilm; starwars
Any article that includes the following paragraph is alright by me:

Ralph McQuarrie: “George also gave me a drawing he liked from a 1930s illustrator of science fiction that showed a big, apelike, furry beast with a row of female breasts down its chest. So I took the breasts off and added a bandolier and ammunition and weapons, and changed its face so it looked somewhat more like the final character, and I left it at that.”

Pictures and illustrations abound!

Hey, play nice now.

And MO was born in 1964, so there is NO possible connection (except for humor).

Darth Vader considers his next move.

Or is he contemplating his next troop movement?
