16-7-98     New Movie comes to a halt.....
Fresh on the heels of bringing us the Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition, rumour has it that production of the new Star Wars installments has ground to a halt because of a dispute between George and his model and creature designers. Apparently George wants to expand the screen time given to the Ronto. He pictured every member of the cast astride one of these beloved steeds.

We wil keep you posted on any developments.
