Rick McCallum Goes (Han) Solo

Rick McCallum, one of the key people responsible for the Star Wars trilogies loved by so many has gone solo to work on his own film projects. Although he has worked for the biggest movie franchise of all time, his roots are in independent film production and he will not be a part of the new Disney trilogy.

A Star Wars Legend: Rick McCallum

He started working with George Lucus with The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles in 1992, continuing through the Special Edition releases of the original Star Wars films in 1997 and then the prequel trilogy in the early part of the 21st century.

Although McCallum will not be part of the Disney Star Wars Trilogy, he feels it is safe in Kathleen Kennedy's hands. Talking to starwars.com, he said: "There's only one person in the world who could do this, and that's Kathleen Kennedy."

McCallum was always a great Star Wars ambassador, being accessible to fans and making numerous guest appearances at conventions.

We, as a Star Wars fan site, wish him the best of luck.
