ILM filming explosions for the Death Star attack in Star Wars in 1977.

I don’t mean to be all BACK WHEN THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING and I’m certainly in no position to be all THE KIDS, WITH THEIR COMPUTERS AND THEIR IPHONES or whatever, I haven’t been any further outside than the driveway today myself, but I feel it’s noteworthy that these people are doing this work, which has endured for nearly forty years and which will still be enjoyed by many for years into the future, ~~~outside, with the light of the sun on their bodies and the blue sky overhead~~~
