Star Wars dreams

So LucasFilms Animation Studios has opened in Singapore. Changi, to be exact. I was so thrilled about the opening and the studio's proximity to my home that I looked for open positions. Unfortunately, the only one I'd qualify for is "receptionist." If only I could edit films! Or write scripts. Could I work on press releases, please? At one low point on Friday afternoon, I felt desperate enough to submit my resume for the position of receptionist. If George Lucas ever visits one day, I'd get to welcome him to the studio.

But as my brother says, since it's a major animation studio in Asia, everyone in the animation industry and every Star Wars fan around the region will be sending in numerous applications. With my luck, even the position of cleaner would already be filled.

I told my old boss - for whom I'm currently working as a freelance editor - about my dreams, and he was insulted I'd leave him for LucasFilms. Why would I want to give up more ELT projects for a TV show called "Clone Wars"? Why indeed?

At any rate, even if there were an open position for me, I'm probably going away again for the next half a year with LK. And there's no way I'm passing up this opportunity. Perhaps by the time I return, LucasFilms will need a voice talent for an Ewok.
