James Coffey sent us this quote from a May 21st article that appeared in the Vancouver Sun. It is about an ILM animator from Canada named Kevin Braun. It's called "McMurrayite making his mark in Hollywood" By ROB PETKAU

His first assignment was a doozy of intergalactic portions.

"Lucasfilm made a lot of money on the (1997) re-release of the StarWars trilogy, but there were still 17 shots George Lucas wasn't happy with. That was stressful thing: you don't want to do a half-assed job with Star Wars.

"I got to work on the shot where Ben Kenobi (Alec Guinness) is killed. Originally Lucas had planned several ways to do it but he was never happy with any of them because the technology wasn't advanced enough. To work on that scene and hear that Lucas was happy with it was mind-blowing."

Braun's scene will appear in a future cinematic release of the 1977 space epic, as well as on DVD copies of the film.
