Hey, thanks for taking a look. Not sure what you mean about the
Star Wars except perhaps the
"a long time ago, not so far away..." thing. In the spirit of what was in the news in the last couple days about
Star Trek producers past and present being
Star Wars fans, and the
ILM link to
Star Trek from
TWOK onward -- and finally George Lucas himself, who it was said, when Clint Howard (Ron Howard's brother and Balok) came in to audition for the 1977 movie -- George knew the episode number, title and Clint Howard's character. Even George Lucas was a
Star Trek fan, so this was behind my little homage. It was a bit of thanks.
Again, I thank you and anyone else who takes the time to visit the
STSOP website
. Also, if you are a
Star Trek fan, go ahead and download the script and you will find it well worth the read. The only complaints I've gotten have been "I couldn't put it down and I was up until X in the morning." I hope that doesn't sound conceited. I found it funny but satisfying as an artist.
Briefly a little background: For those who may not read the dedication page of the script, my brother Stu was an artist of uncommon and exceptional talent, and like many artists of that caliber, he decided to leave this world for the next by his own hand during his first year in art school in Savannah, Georgia (
Savannah School of Art and Design). Stu and I grew up with the original series and spent many summers exploring the perpetually forested planet in the woods outside our home in Maryland. When
STTMP came out in 1979, he and I, like many, felt a bit let down and decided we would explore our imaginations and adventures and stories we came up with over our childhood years -- and out of that came 80-percent of what you read in
STSOP.
This is getting long here, but I just wanted people to know that this is not a fly-by-night "hey I wanna do a fan film" endeavor. It is a labor of love and appreciation for someone I miss greatly and who, by doing this, get to work with him once more" so to speak.
