Rusty Miller
Found! |
"Now that's a name I've not heard
in a long time... a long time." The Official Star Wars Site has provided an interview with Rusty
Miller. You will have to be an original Star Wars fan for this one to make
sense, but anyone who was around for the original trilogy back in the '70s and
'80s might recall the name Rusty Miller -- you know, that 11-year-old fan
prodigy who compiled a list of 425 Star Wars trivia questions for The
Jedi Master's Quizbook back in 1982. Don't remember?
As it happens, a fan named Payton Gauldin has been looking for Rusty Miller,
who apparently hadn't been seen nor heard from in the fan community since the
early '80s. Thanks to Payton's tenacity, he was finally able to locate the long
lost Rusty (who now goes by Matt -- hence the difficulty in finding him), who
has agreed to answer a few questions:
First, do you go by Rusty or Matthew these days?
These days, I go by Matt.
Can you tell us how the Jedi Master's Quizbook deal came about?
Well, the summer of 1981, out of boredom, more or less,
I began writing trivia questions about A New Hope and The Empire
Strikes Back. The number of questions mushroomed and I started to think
"Hey, this could be something." My mom and I drafted a letter of inquiry to Del
Rey Books. Several weeks later they requested a copy of the manuscript.
The original manuscript, which actually contained 631 questions (some were
duplicates, some were deemed too obscure, and a few were factually incorrect)
was written by me on an old Smith-Corona manual typewriter, "hunt and peck"
style. My mom retyped the manuscript to more or less neaten it up, not changing
any of the content, and the manuscript was sent to Del Rey. Del Rey liked what
they saw and sent it off to Lucasfilm for them to have a look. Right about the
time they received the manuscript, Lucasfilm was in the process of moving from
Southern California to Northern California (the present Skywalker Ranch
facility), so the manuscript got boxed away for about 8 weeks. After the
manuscript was unpacked and read by the folks at Lucasfilm, the "vetting and
trimming" process took place, which brought it to its final 425 questions.
Want to know more? Be sure to read the rest of the questions and answers from a great Star
Wars fan. |
