Some of the
Curveballs You
Face When
Making a Star
Wars Movie
In 2018 when I was asked
to be the Production
Sound Mixer on a new
Disney + TV show called
The Mandalorian, I had no
idea what a fun adventure
I had in store! After three
seasons of the show, I was
thrilled to be asked to join
the crew of the first Star
Wars movie to be shot
entirely in the USA! The
first Star Wars movie in
seven years. Getting to be
part of launching Mando
and Grogu onto an
IMAX screen was quite
an honor and a dream
come true.
