Fon Davis: Prequel Trilogy Model Maker and BattleBots Judge

Talking Bay 94: Star Wars Interviews

Today is an interview with the incredibly talented model maker and visual effects artist, Fon Davis.

My wife and I took Fon and his girlfriend out for some Texas BBQ (LeRoy and Lewis, please sponsor the show) while they were in Austin for South by Southwest ... and then we sat around with a beer or two and chatted all about Fon’s time working on the Special Editions and the prequel trilogy while at Industrial Light & Magic.

I hope you enjoy this conversation … it’s really a blast, and Fon is such a wealth of knowledge and stories. I really appreciate Fon accepting the invite and hanging out with me on a Monday night. It was such a joy for me.
