Marc Thorpe: Builder of Bespin, Ewok Wrangler

Marc Thorpe was an ILM Model Maker for movies like The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and the Indiana Jones Trilogy. We go through a quick deep dive of his career, including his work on LucasToys and the creation of Robot Wars. He was a true delight to talk to and such a gracious teller of stories and experiences. I really enjoyed my conversation with him, especially learning what exactly an “Ewok Wrangler” is. Check out his website to see even more examples of his craftmanship, art and ideas: http://www.marcthorpe.com/ Our Talking Bay 94 web store is officially live with our first round of merch.
