Lucy Autrey Wilson began her Lucasfilm run as George Lucas’ assistant, typing up the script for Star Wars, making her Lucasfilm Employee #1. Many of us first encountered her name as head of the publishing program, which she established. In recent years she has been instrumental in the nonfiction end at George Lucas Books.
Basically? We – as in Club Jade – wouldn’t be here if not for Wilson. We wish her the happiness and luck in retirement!
We need to send her some champagne, or something.
I’m with Paula, we definitely should!
