Dennis Muren is a well-known special effects guru, mostly known for his work on the famous Star Wars series. He started his work during college but got offered the Star Wars job afterward. At first, Muren denied the offer at the Star Wars set because of the amount of money that was offered. He decided to go back to it because it was to the point where he had to choose his passion or be unhappy for the rest of his life. Originally, Muren wasn’t planning on being so well-known for his work and getting 8 Academy Awards for the special effects work in Star Wars, but there he is.
