Interview with Sound Mixer Tony Dawe (Return of the Jedi, Alice in Wonderland, Troy)
George Lucas was very involved in the making of “Revenge of the Jedi”, and spent a lot of time on the sets.

I had three surgeries and that derailed my career for a while. I rehabbed like a pro athlete and feel bionic now. I am reinforced, realigned and will live with my titanium tibial rod forever. That was nine years ago, today. October 7.
