Former LFL Employee Charged With Theft
Posted By Britany on October 9, 2002:
The Marin Independent Journal reports:
A former employee of Lucasfilm who has denied leaking a copy of "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" to an Internet reviewer has been charged with 13 felony counts in connection with the theft of an estimated $450,000 worth of materials related to the blockbuster film.
The theft of sound effects, storyboard images, the film score and hundreds of digital images and video files occurred between September 2000 and April 2002, when Shea O'Brien Foley was employed as a production assistant at the Lucas Valley filmmaking company.
Among the stolen items that were recovered, according to the affidavit:
* Nineteen CD-ROM discs containing the entire restricted library of sound effects created during the past 25 years for use in the "Star Wars" films, with an estimated "collectible value" of $95,000.
* More than 2,000 high-quality digital images from "Episode II," valued at $125,000.
* Hundreds of video files of "Episode II," from concept shots to final clips, valued at $100,000.
* About 113 storyboard images - or sketches outlining scenes from the film - with handwritten notes by Lucas, valued at more than $100,000.
