* TemptingFate: A week before Lucasfilm called him up, he was playing lightsabers with Giancarlo Volpe when they were working on ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' Book 1 who asked him on how he would react if Creator/GeorgeLucas ever called him to help make a new movie, and they laughed like it was never going to happen. Both of them ended up becoming directors to ''The Clone Wars''.
