Bob Miller was interviewed via phone from Ketchikan, Alaska to Los Angeles. This fan claimed to have the world's largest collection of published materials on Star Wars outside of George Lucas.

The interview was included in an academic paper by Susan P. Batho which addresses the effect of the Viacom Crackdown, TPTB, and Australian fandom.

Part of a Series

Excerpts

Lucas encourages fans and devotes webspace fans, unlike Star Trek.

In a nutshell -- the actual making of it [Star Wars] has inspired a lot of people, which makes it a lot more fascinating than the movie itself. The Digital Revolution came about because of Lucas, and directly inspired Jurassic Park. Because of Jurassic Park, the [Star Wars] prequels become viable. Willow had the forerunner of the morphing technique that both of these movie series used. He's pushing for digital film making now.
