Page "Labyrinth (film)" Paragraph 79

Jim Henson received help editing the film from executive producer George Lucas.

According to Henson, " When we hit the editing, I did the first cut, and then George was heavily involved on bringing it to the final cut.

After that, I took it over again and did the next few months of post-production and audio.

" Henson went on to explain that " When you edit a film with somebody else you have to compromise.

I always want to go one way, and George goes another way, but we each took turns trading off, giving and taking.

George tends to be very action-oriented and he cuts dialogue quite tight ; I tend to cut looser, and go for more lyrical pauses, which can slow the story.

So, I loosen up his tightness, and he tightens my looseness.
