R.I.P. STAR WARS Film Author J.W. Rinzler

We just got word that Jonathon Rinzler has passed away at the age of 58. He was always very kind and generous to us here on RFR and we consider him the best at chronicling the history of Star Wars from the inside. In one of his final interviews, perhaps the last one he ever did on camera, he shared great stories with us about George Lucas, Skywalker Ranch, and Star Wars. Gone way too soon

Our donation was made on behalf of the Rebel Force Radio Patreon community who join us in love and support for Jonathan and his family during this tough time.

J.W. Rinzler has provided us STAR WARS fans with amazing access into the creative process of George Lucas’s original six films via his series of “Making Of” books. J.W., or as his friends call him, Jonathon, is now fighting for his life after getting diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year. Join us in sharing your appreciation for his insider insight and talent by making a donation via GoFundMe. His daughter writes "As we reach the one-year mark from his diagnosis, there are no more treatment options available; Jonathan is making end-of-life plans." We graciously thank our RFR Patreon supporters for making it possible for us to make our donation.
