Everyone at ILM was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Marcia Lucas. One of three Oscar-winning editors who worked on Star Wars: A New Hope, she also contributed to American Graffiti, among other early Lucasfilm productions. We join the global filmmaking community in mourning her loss.

“We thought it would be funny if Korg, in his downtime, wore the same pineapple shirt that @TaikaWaititi wore on set, so we built him this little pineapple jumper outfit and gave him some flip flops as well.” - Russell Earl #AvengersEndgame ILM VFX Supervisor (via @io9)

There is a wound that won't heal at the center of the galaxy. There is a darkness reaching like rust into everything around us. We let it grow, and now it's here. It's here and it's not visiting anymore. It wants to stay.
The Empire is a disease that thrives in darkness, it is never more alive than when we sleep. It's easy for the dead to tell you to fight, and maybe it's true, maybe fighting is useless. Perhaps it's too late. But I'll tell you this, if I could do it again, I'd wake up early and be fighting these bastards from the start!
