This is my conversation with the legendary Paul Hirsch, Academy Award-winner for his editing work on the original Star Wars.
From working with Brian De Palma and John Hughes, to his time in the editing bay for both A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, side-by-side with Marcia Lucas, Richard Chew (and George), we go through as much as we can of his storied career.
Even more stories can be found in his upcoming memoir, A long time ago in a cutting room far, far away, which is coming out his November.
