Huston, who served as Industrial Light & Magic (ILM)'s chief model maker during production, provided and maintained storyboards to help develop the necessary model miniatures needed for the film's vast intergalactic sets. He has now worked with Lucasfilm for over 40 years, collaborating on eight Star Wars films and one animated television series.
