....................................
CinéSecrets provides rare insights and technical information about the making of the STAR WARS TROLOGY (and 50 other movies) from the autobiographical archives of Nick Maley...... one of six people behind the main unit shoot for the Cantina sequence and a key contributor to the creation of Yoda.
The trouble with so many pages, (especially about STAR WARS), is that they contain the same old stuff. CinéSecrets will regularly bring you new stories, unique articles about previosly unreported facts and experiences.

He built the Molisar suits and decaying corpses of THE KEEP and created another world of creature effects for KRULL. He worked directly with Director Russell Mulcahy to devise HIGHLANDER's Quickening and Gathering effects, designed the effects storyboards with artist Tony Beesley (including a Kurgan creature sequence that you never saw) and created the decapitation effects. Oh yes! He also contributed to the make-up effects for SUPERMAN I & II.
