San
Francisco – This week TravelTalkMEDIA announced final preparation plans were in
the works for the Taking Jordan by Storm Campaign. The tour will coincide with
the Premier of the new film, Rogue One opening in the US, this
upcoming December 16th. Fans in Jordan will be celebrating the event by
welcoming two US artists at the local premiere Dec 15. Lorne Peterson and Sandy
Dhuyvetter will be presenting to the Star Wars Fans before the premiere and in
the days following while on tour across Jordan.
TravelTalkMEDIA and Monaco Business Development from Jordan are working to create campaigns that attract tourism. Monaco Business Development president, Mona Naffa said, “Our teams are delighted to have brought this project to fruition. Clearly the world is excited about the Star War films and their super heroes. We are delighted to share with the Star Wars fans here in Jordan, these two gifted artists who will join us to share interesting and behind the scenes stories of creating some of the most iconic images for the Star Wars franchise.
Lorne
Peterson is one of the original members of Industrial Light & Magic having
been hired in 1975 to create the models for Star Wars. Since that time,
he has worked on most of George Lucas’ films as well as many of Steven
Spielberg’s productions. Mr. Petersen will be sharing his many years of working
in the industry and will fascinate the audiences with his wonderful photographs
and stories that are humorous and most interesting.
Sandy
Dhuyvetter will be presenting her story starting with working on More
American Graffiti and then later on BobaFett’s costume. Ms. Dhuyvetter
said, “Jordan is a very special country and we are thrilled to be coming to
Amman for the premiere of Rogue On. We also want to share with
the world that Jordan is an amazing country to visit. It is beautiful and
exciting and has served as a backdrop for International films for decades.”
While
in Jordan, Mr. Petersen and Ms. Dhuyvetter will be accompanied by 2 Storm
Troopers from the 501st. The Storm Troopers costumes will be worn by
US based fans Hector Cruz and Rich Appenzeller. The US tour includes their
official US photographer, George Powell and the Monaco Team who will be touring
the country making visits and signing autographs.

About Lorne
Petersen:
In
1978, Lorne was asked by George Lucas to move to northern California to head
the production of models for Empire Strikes Back. He has since then been
the recipient of an Academy Award and the British Academy Award for the special
effect work he did for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
Lorne
holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Art from California State University at Long
Beach. Aside from the work he has done for Industrial Light & Magic, he has
done industrial design modelmaking for McDonaldLand, JBL Speakers, Kikkoman,
Yamaha Snowmobiles and the feature movie China Syndrome.
About Sandy
Dhuyvetter:
“Most
people know Joe Johnston, either through his work on Star Wars or his
later work as a director of his own movies. In comparison, few people
know Sandy Dhuyvetter’s relationship to Boba Fett, but her contributions to the
iconic bounty hunter are just as significant and perhaps even more
well-known! If Joe Johnston is Boba Fett’s “dad” (No Jango Fett jokes,
please), then Sandy is surely “Momma Fett”. (Taken from the Dented Hemet
Website).
Sandy was responsible for painting 3 of the original 6 Boba Fett
costumes, including the one seen on the original Kenner Boba Fett figure
packaging as well as the Return of the Jedi Boba Fett helmet!
Sandy
has a degree in Art from Arizona State University. She taught Art at Rivera Jr
High in Pico Rivera, CA before heading to San Francisco to work with
Lucas. Sandy also headed a successful Multi Media Company in the Bay area for
many years. She is widely known for her radio and reporting on International
travel on TravelTalkRADIO and TravelTalkMEDIA and her humanitarian work to help
bring awareness to the world wide crimes involving Human Trafficking.
