Description

Marc Thorpe was an ILM Model Maker for movies like The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and the Indiana Jones Trilogy. We go through a quick deep dive of his career, including his work on LucasToys and the creation of Robot Wars. He was a true delight to talk to and such a gracious teller of stories and experiences. I really enjoyed my conversation with him, especially learning what exactly an “Ewok Wrangler” is. Check out his website to see even more examples of his craftmanship, art and ideas: http://www.marcthorpe.com/ Our Talking Bay 94 web store is officially live with our first round of merch.
