Ok so, imagine your dad is part of science fiction film royalty, and you just HAPPEN to find his copy of a 4th draft original “Star Wars” script, complete with Luke Starkiller mentioned on the title page. Yeah. That’s the type of royalty we’re talking about there.

Enter legendary special effects master John Dykstra, and his daughter actress Chloe Dykstra‘s Twitter post from this morning.

Found this, it’s gross and smells old, does anyone want it? pic.twitter.com/VcGe23Ankr

Yes, obviously she knows what it is and is being funny with her caption, so don’t go trying to Star Wars-splain her, ok?

Just look.

LOOK AT IT, ANAKIN.

How beautiful.

What we wouldn’t give to go through the Dykstra family archives for a day.

Mary Anne Butler

Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
