Published: March 23, 2022, 2:25 p.m.

Frank Ordaz was a matte painter for Return of the Jedi, as well as for movies like Temple of Doom, E.T. Star Treks II-IV and many more.

An incredibly talented painter, Mr. Ordaz is such a fascinating conversationalist and brings to life a lot of the behind the scenes stories from the making of Return of the Jedi and beyond.

I really had such a blast getting to delve deeper into his stories and the matte department. To check out his beautiful current work, head to ordazart.com
