How did this process happen? Did you pitch Lucasfilm? Did they reach out?Yeah. And well, it was funny because I’ve been a producer in the studio for a long time, since we started because I co-founded the studio with Tomm Moore and Nora Twomey. And it’s sometimes joke that it was I became the producer, just because I kind of was the first person sitting by the phone.

Or maybe he came up with it and came in the next morning saying, “I just had this dream about this last night,” where he kind of had an argument with himself. It was just that was an interesting hook.And then there was other ideas we had floating about, like, what if what if you were in a sector of the galaxy far, far away, that really was so removed, nobody there
