tar Wars Insider: You saw your fi rst Star Wars movie,
Return of the Jedi, at the age of seven.
Arantzazu Martinez: When I fi rst saw Return of the
Jedi I was absolutely fascinated. It was like a dream
S that somebody else had dreamt for me. Every location
looked fabulous and the characters felt so real; now I look for that
feeling constantly in my artwork. It took a while for me to realize
that there were another two films to see! But now I couldn’t

choose a favorite. The three movies work perfectly together.
