Listen "Thaine Morris: The Man Who Blew Up the Death Star II"
Episode Synopsis
Today is a rare conversation with Thaine Morris, an Oscar-nominated special effects artist, who worked as a pyrotechnician blowing up many many things on many many movies, including The Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Return of the Jedi. This was recorded live at this summer’s REBEL SCUM CON, and is full of great stories of Mr. Morris’ time working in a galaxy far, far away. Mr. Morris was such a good sport and chatted all about his incredible, indelible work. He is a true artist, and it was a real honor to talk to him A ton more episodes from Rebel Scum Con are coming VERY SOON, including the return of Misty Rosas, as well as Amy Allen, Michonne Bourriague, Nalini Krishan, and Ahmed Best so … stay tuned. In other news … I co-wrote an official Star Wars book. I cannot believe it. Star Wars Encyclopedia from DK Books is coming out this fall and can be pre-ordered now. More info to come, believe me.
