Ok guys and gals, we're pretty excited about this one...

Back in mid-March I was lucky enough to secure an interview with the producer of Young Indy, the special editions and the prequels Rick McCallum. I was contacted by Tracy Cannobio of Lucasfilm publicity and asked to call The Ranch...

Yep, you heard me, THE RANCH

...and fully expected a fifteen minute blast through some set questions with Rick before he would be whisked away to far more weighty matters than chatting to the Brummie webmaster of a small UK-based Star Wars fan site.

Boy was I wrong.

During the 40 minutes we talked we covered such topics as Rick's past career, his involvement with the saga, digital cinema and it's future, my two nephews, Celebration Europe...oh, and when my phone went dead after 25 minutes he was even cool enough to phone me back. What a guy.

The first part of three hits Lightsabre today, so if you'd like an engrossing read of what Rick thinks about so many of these things visit Lightsabre and check it out, then make a date for 4 weeks time for the second part.
