As with every time I've ever traveled to San Diego Comic-Con, so much happens before, during, and after that it's sometimes very difficult to address everything I'd intended. Such was the case with my interview with Scott Murphy, co-writer (alongside Zak Penn) of the Hero Worship series from Avatar Press. Happily, since these batch of interview responses pertain to his work on such shows as Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Angel, the interview is just as relevant today as it was when I conducted it last month! (Whew!)
Among his many accomplishments writing professionally for the film and television industries, Murphy was instrumental in bringing George Lucas's vision to CG life during the first season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. And while he certainly wouldn't reveal Lucasfilm secrets (for fear of being hunted down by bounty hunters across the galaxy) in our interview, he did provide some very interesting perspectives on the Clone Wars era, the development of the television program, and how Lucasfilm will handle the eventual absence of Anakin Skywalker's padawan Ahsoka Tano from the overall Star Wars mythology.
So without further ado, here's Scott Murphy'
