       | "Jurassic Punk" is the song wedged into this movie:

       | If they didn't include that (and the music video) in this
       | documentary then they've failed the audience badly. Not because
       | it has anything to do with the subject really, but for missing
       | the opportunity to bring that video to more people.

       | The author puts himself in the spotlight a little too much. Only
       | at the end it became clear this is about a production by apple
       | about Williams.

         | available on iTunes.

         | Second, Stu has every right to put himself in the spotlight,
         | given that he's writing on his own personal blog. He went on to
         | be a key member of the "Rebel Mac Unit," and his own
         | recollections about Steve Williams are interesting for anyone
         | who geeks out about ILM history.

       | This guy worked on one of the worst tragedies in the Star Wars
       | universe, the added scene where Han Solo steps on Jabba the
       | Hutt's tail. That he was so inexperienced and allowed to work on
       | that scene explains a lot.

         | Yeah it's a terrible and misguided scene, but that doesn't mean
         | it didn't require effort and talent.

         | IMHO it was mainly the scripts that sucked in the "new" Star
         | Wars and the retconning in the remastered stuff. I didn't
         | personally object too much to the quality of the added scenes,
         | even though they could have just skipped them.

           | Especially in this scene the added CG ruins the
           | believability. They should not have done that.
