I noticed JJ Abrams doodling away during our group discussion, and he kindly gave me his proto-bounty hunter afterward.
Spending the weekend with George Lucas may have had an influence. =)
I asked if he draws to think. Absolutely, he replied.
No surprise there perhaps. It reminds me of the build to think mantra of product design firm IDEO.

I have been a Natalie Portman fan since her debut in The Professional
(update: I sense a disturbance in the force... Original is still on Natalie Portman Org, so maybe they just asked to have it removed to monetize? =)

The JJ Abrams relaunch of the Star Wars franchise brings back good memories. I noticed JJ doodling away during a group discussion at a charity retreat in Utah, and he kindly gave me his proto-bounty hunter sketch afterward (below). I still have it framed in my office.
Spending the weekend with George Lucas may have had an influence. I recently learned that it was the first time they met.
I was with JJ and George again in August, and JJ revealed that in the new Star Wars “the fate of the galaxy is in the hands of a girl.”
And a couple fun quotes from my first encounter with George Lucas:
"With Star Wars, I didn't know what I was doing."
"You can make Star Wars now with one million dollars."
Ha!

It easily enters my High Five scoreboard with Snow Crash, Hitchhiker’s Guide, Ringworld and Ender’s Game. So many of the geek references from the early days of personal computing brought back a Rush 2112 of Proustian 16K memories, from the Trash-80 to cassette-loading games on my Apple ] [
Like this one. Coincidentally, my first programming buddy, Bradley Miller, just uncovered and sent me one of our oldest tapes – the first Star Wars video game (released by Apple in 1978, without any license from LucasFilm).
