Return of the Jedi
Revenge of the Sith


Recently, I watched the movie Radioland Murders, a Lucasfilm production from 1994 (George Lucas, story and executive producer). First of all, it's a hell of a film, absolutely fantastic. It is a farce/whodunit set in the golden age of radio. Mary Stuart Masterson and Brian Benben are the leads in a brilliant ensemble cast. I highly recommend it to anyone with a sense of humor. Also of interest are some of the crew, specifically producer Rick McCallum, director of photography David Tattersall, and production designer Gavin Bocquet. McCallum, Tattersall, and Bocquet are, respectively, the producer, director of photography, and production designer for Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, and the forthcoming Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. Just as with Young Indiana Jones, an added dimension of enjoyment in Radioland Murders is watching George Lucas get ready for the prequel trilogy. The films were literally years in the making. Wicked.
