Unfortunately, it's no April Fool's joke.
Steve Sansweet is turning the page in his career: moving out of the Lucasfilm nest. In cooperation with
TheForce.net and
Rebelscum we'd like to salute the man that's linked the corporate to the fan on the street.
Steve Sansweet’s 1992 book “
Star Wars: From Concept, To Screen, To Collectible” was a beacon of light at the end of the dark ages. His passion for the films resonated off of every page, and touched us deep in our cores. When he became Lucasfilm’s Director of Content Management and head of Fan Relations in 1996, he took that passion to the masses and the Star Wars Generation finally had a voice.

Today marks the last day in this chapter of Steve’s life, and while we will all miss the positive energy and genuine love for the franchise he brought with him on stage, we are very excited to see what he has planned from this point forward. One thing is for certain he will always remain the true voice of The Star Wars Generation
