Richard Miller, a talented sculptor that worked at Lucasfilm’s Industrial Light and Magic for over three decades, has passed away. The Hollywood Reporter brings word of his death with an ILM spokesperson confirming Miller died on Thursday, December 8th, just two days after his birthday. “With his artistic skill in evidence, an agreeable demeanor and a wry sense of humor, Richard fit right in from the start and became a fixture at ILM,” a statement from ILM on his passing reads. “Richard will be dearly missed by the entire ILM family, but his artistic contribution lives on in each of the films he contributed to and in the fond memories of all who knew him.”
