Diane had organized a meeting bringing together the top-level participants to discuss the progress of the museum. Tell us about your conversations with Diane and what ultimately inspired you to embark on the project.įrom 2005 through 2007, I was working on the restoration of some of my dad’s film related artifacts that were to be displayed in Diane Disney Miller’s Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco. You mention that Walt’s daughter, Diane Disney Miller, first encouraged you to write a book about your dad. Thank you, too, for sharing your dad’s story with us in your book, Walt Disney’s Ultimate Inventor: The Genius of Ub Iwerks. Thank you for joining us at The Disney Blog. We got about as close to time traveling as we possibly could in this interview, and we brought back the following inimitable stories and valuable lessons.ĭon, it is an honor to chat with you. He worked with Ub and Walt for over a decade developing cameras, projectors, and other technical systems, including Circle-Vision 360, before joining fellow Disney executive Stan Kinsey to co-found their own company, Iwerks Entertainment, in 1986.ĭon graciously agreed to speak with us about his book, the early days at the Walt Disney Studios, and his dad, who he describes as “a self-taught modern day Leonardo di Vinci.” Walt Disney’s Ultimate Inventor: The Genius of Ub Iwerks plugs the gap in Disney’s record of technical triumphs from 1940 through 1971 and is a testament not only to Ub Iwerks and his genius, but to everything he stood for: hard work, problem solving and persistence.ĭon Iwerks followed his father to the Walt Disney Studios in 1950 and later to Disney Legend status in 2009. It’s a statement on who she is choosing to be and not who she was born to be.Beginning in 2007, after encouragement from friends, family and Walt’s daughter, Diane Disney Miller, Don set out to document his dad’s many achievements. Rey calls herself a Skywalker because Luke and Leia were more her family and parental figures than anyone else in her life so she took their name as a way to honor them and make a commitment to continue their legacy, not Palpatine’s.

From the novel the lines are there to show that it was a “kiss of gratitude” not love and that, like most of us said, she will “never mourn Kylo Ren” because he treated her so badly. Even though she felt compassion for him and even the unnecessary kiss of gratitude. Rey is understandably underwhelmed by Kylos death. Leia died to protect her and return her son to the light.

Even though leia know of her palpatine connection she guided and supported her. She had a very strong mother-daughter bond with Leia. Rey was initially disappointed by Luke, yes, but Rey’s reaction for when she senses Luke’s death in TLJ suggests that Rey and Luke forgave each other, and Luke really did “pass on what he learned” to Rey when he sacrificed himself for Rey and the Resistance to escape, enabling Rey to become the last Jedi, doing exactly what Yoda told him to do. He was her father figure and he was murdered before her. He never asks *anyone* but Chewie to go with him. He invited her to travel on the Falcon with him. She was devastated and traumatised by Han’s death. Reys reaction the the Skywalkers/Solo deaths in Star Wars.
