Lessons from Star Wars

Sometimes I take the Web for granted, and then something like this comes along to remind me what an incredible gift it is... for the sharing of gifts.

Stephen Anderson shares his presentation about what designers can learn from the making of Star Wars. (I'd love you to do the audio track, Stephen.)

One highlight for me is Lesson XIV (starts at slide 139), looking at how the script for Star Wars changed radically through multiple iterations. Moral: don't get attached to your first idea.

Brian Oberkirch spotted this and I like his headline for it: Only Do - which I think relates to the same point. Get started and adapt.
