When The Empire Strikes Back first came out in 1980 and I saw Luke summon his lightsaber to his hand in the wampa cave, I remember thinking, βWhoa! Awesome!β And then, after Iβd seen it maybe ten more times, I wondered, βWhereβd he learn how to do that?β My nine-year-old self never suspected that one day Iβd get the chance to provide the answer, and Iβm grateful to Del Rey and Lucasfilm for making it happen.
