The Oscar winner behind Star Wars' most iconic weapons and sets joins us to talk about making cinema history and getting his hands dirty with George Lucas. As the Academy Award-winning Set Decorator of Star Wars, Christian helped turn George Lucas' dreams into reality, and defined the grimy 'used future' aesthetic that made the galaxy far, far away feel so authentic. Christian went on to earn another Oscar nomination as the Art Director of Alien, before directing the second unit on Return of the Jedi and The Phantom Menace and carving out a career as a director in his own right. The industry legend joins us to talk about: Making the first lightsaber Building Han Solo's blaster Giving Chewbacca his bowcaster Bringing the Millennium Falcon's cockpit to lifeTaste-testing Blue Milk Shovelling salt and supergluing props with George Lucas Woodworking with Harrison Ford Directing the cult classic Black Angel and the notoriously ill-fated Battlefield Earth His upcoming Star Wars documentary, Galaxy Built on Hope And much more!
