Everyone at ILM was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Marcia Lucas. One of three Oscar-winning editors who worked on Star Wars: A New Hope, she also contributed to American Graffiti, among other early Lucasfilm productions. We join the global filmmaking community in mourning her loss. A statement from Lucasfilm: lucas.film/6003B8jkM1

45 years ago today, our favorite archaeologist set off on his first cinematic adventure. Raiders of the Lost Ark was only ILM's second project outside of the Star Wars saga, and our first collaboration with director Steven Spielberg. It's been many years since those early days, and even more miles! Watch the film today on Disney !

Last month members of ILM's original crew from Star Wars: A New Hope gathered at their former studio space in Southern California. 50 years ago in 1976, they were busily preparing the world's most innovative visual effects facility to create over 300 shots for George Lucas' space fantasy. Guests at the reunion included everyone from modelmakers and production coordinators to visual effects supervisors and camera operators. Some crews remain bonded forever. Photography by Chloe Dykstra
