Also, today from the archives, let’s celebrate the Magic of Willow with Lucasfilm Fan Club Official Magazine #4!
This issue was released in the summer of 1988, shortly after the film’s theatrical release, but late enough in summer to feature fan mail from readers who had already seen (and enjoyed) the movie in theaters.
The publication contained some first-look photos of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, as well as some details of the upcoming film Tucker: The Man and His Dream starring Jeff Bridges.
Besides an article about Industrial Light & Magic “Inside ILM: Creating the Magic of Willow”, the highlight of the issue was a set of interviews by fan club president & publisher, Dan Madsen. These were “Ron Howard: Imagining The Wonders of Willow” and “Warwick Davis: An Unlikely Hero” which had enough good content to carry on with a part two in the next issue.
The Willow film turned 37 years old yesterday! I figure there’ll be a new Willow item from my collection to share here for the rest of the month. Happy 37 years to the Magic of Willow!
