Leigh Brackett
Screenwriter extraordinaire, Leigh Brackett authored the first draft of The Empire Strikes Back.

Alex became so attached to these little vignettes that he brings her up whenever an early draft is mentioned, even for movies that were filmed after her death.
Ben Burtt
The "Savant of Sound Design" is a nickname that we should probably start using when talking about Ben Burtt. On all the Star Wars Movies, up to an including The Force Awakens, Burtt always found the perfect sound to elevate the level of the production. He also appears on screen in Return of the Jed (playing Colonel Dyer) and in The Phantom Menace (as EQ3, who has an extremely elaborate backstory written by Burtt himself). If only he could come up with a sound for the silent 't' at the end of his name.
