My decade working for Lucasfilm, in pictures

Star Wars fan @bonniegrrl looks back at shadowing George Lucas, coming to work dressed as Jabba and saying "I do" to R2-D2.

You know your husband loves you when he surprises you with an adorable (and so cuddly OMG) #Bantha plushie!! It actually came as a two pack with a Tusken Raider on its back, but I don't like them so I happily removed it and replaced it with my #Tauntaun (that makes sounds!) :D I'm far too happy about a plush toy but I don't care - look at these adorable and majestic #StarWars beasties! ❤️ #nerd #geekery #starwars40
