Honestly gutted to hear Marcia Lucas has passed away. It’s not hyperbole to say that without her pioneering editing on the first Star Wars, the series probably wouldn’t exist today in the way it does. Her work took that film and elevated it something special. RIP.

I was thinking about Marcia Lucas about an hour ago and how she saved Star Wars in the editing room and how she should’ve edited the new movies and now I hear that she passed away. I’m shook to say the least. We lost a giant.

R.I.P. Marcia Lucas, the editor of STAR WARS, who famously stepped in and saved the film during post-production. The movie wouldn't be the same without her... pic.twitter.com/kWEYSGShFc
