Mystery Solved! A Tale of Snow-Swept Chewbacca, Bantha Tracks and Consetta Parker


During a recent gathering of the Rancho Obi-Wan Board of Directors, we were all chatting before our meeting began. Somehow Bantha Tracks came up and the memory of my painting popped into my head. I muttered something like "You know, I had a painting featured in Bantha Tracks once, but I forgot to put my name on it." Friend and fellow board member Pete Vilmur looked at me and said "What?! Have you ever mentioned that before or talked about that in an interview?" Steve then added that I should write about it for our ROW blog! It suddenly all hit me: memories, emotions and hope--hope that my painting and I could finally be reunited after all these years.




Yep! We're giving a shout-out to the sadly misguided Star Wars Holiday Special. Why? Because as fans of all things Star Wars, we think every aspect of that faraway galaxy is worthy of some love, even if that means tough love. And since the Holiday Special turned 36 on November 17th, we thought it deserved a bit of charitable coverage, seeing as how it's responsible for one more holiday on the Star Wars calendar: Life Day, a sort of saga analog to a combination of Thanksgiving and Christmas. 




Rancho Obi-Wan is a nonprofit museum supported by fans like you. A $40 donation gets our unique membership kit as a thank you!

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene.  Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in  Raiders of the Lost Ark ?  It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark.  Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming.  I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com  and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th

Pinewood Studios To Expand To The Usa

BBC News have reported that Pinewood Studios are to expand to the USA.  This is great news for the famous studio that is rich in movie history. UK film studio Pinewood Shepperton has announced plans to build its first sound stages in the United States. The Pinewood Atlanta complex will be built on 288 acres of land south of Atlanta, Georgia, as a joint venture with a US investment company. Georgia has been among the US states drawing film-making away from Hollywood with tax incentives in recent years. The deal is the latest sign of expansion at Pinewood, the home of the James Bond franchise. Earlier this month it announced a joint venture with a Chinese media group, potentially giving it access to the fast-growing Chinese market. Read the full article here.
