I’m not a big fan of Conan O’Brien — as I believe I’ve mentioned before, I much prefer his cross-channel rival Craig Ferguson<\/a> — but I did enjoy his little tour of George Lucas’ special-effects shop<\/a> last night:<\/p>\n

Aside from the cringe-inducing incident with the Imperial Walker, this was a total vicarious thrill for me. God, how I would love to work in a place like that, surrounded by all those icons and artifacts. (Of course, my house here at the fabulous Bennion Compound has plenty of its own artifacts… but I digress.)<\/p>\n

Just for the sake of completeness, here’s Conan’s interview with Uncle George himself, which I assume followed the ILM segment (I didn’t actually watch the show; I cadged this stuff from the good folks at SF Signal<\/a>). If you get bored by George’s laconic ‘tude, force yourself to hang in there all the way to the end; Jewbacca is worth seeing…<\/p>\n
