He clutched his head from both his hands and shut his eyes close.
The headache continued to grow as every second passed by. He couldn’t see anything but pitch black.
“What the fuck is happening?” he asked himself as he realized that the head pain was due to the memory library.
[Update in Process]
He saw the words as he closed his eyes.
“Update…”
“An update?” he shook his head, unable to bear the pain.
Soon after, the pain started subsiding. He opened his eyes slowly. He looked around and saw how he was in his room, crunched down for the extreme pain.
“I was already tired…” he whispered to himself and closed his eyes again.
…!
When he closed his eyes, the usual memory library popped up. But this time, some movies were released in his previous world up to the year 2023.
And he saw how sequels to movies that were released in his previous update of the memory library were released.
“This…” he mumbled and looked at his computer. A blank document was opened. “...Is all worth the headache.”
He smiled to himself and started exploring scripts that he could put into writing.
Ian wanted to write as many scripts as possible. Simply because he was one man, and the number of great movies that had been done by famous directors was more than he would ever live in this world.
Therefore, the easiest way to spend his valuable time and energy was to put in as many as ideas he could.
On the other hand, his ultimate goal was to become a young genius. And if his calculations were correct, in the next five years, he could easily outsmart almost all the famous directors that existed in this world.
But for that, he had to work even harder, and he was ready.

[12th February 2023]
Two months later, with the help of extras in the set design, the set was finally ready.
Along with the set, the rest of the sixty days were well-spent with planning and getting almost everything done.
“Mr Renner, tomorrow is the day,” Smith walked inside Ian’s office room.
In front of Ian Renner, Murphy sat with his tablets, preparing the schedule for Star Wars to begin, so that he could let all the managers of the actors know.
“Yes, we’re ready to go check the sets. And uh, did you contact Mr Lee before we go?” Ian asked and looked at Murphy.
If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
“Yeah, I did. He’s ready.”
Ian nodded.
Apart from the set, the CGI team had signed contracts and several meetings were held between Ian and them to discuss the project thoroughly.
Ian’s goal was to create much better CGI than the original movie that lived relentlessly in his head.
And the actors who signed the papers and were ready to get on set were also being taught what they should know about Star Wars beforehand. He also went ahead and hired the best possible choreographers so that the fighting scenes could be approached in a much better tone.
“Alright, I’ll get going so I can pack some things before we’re headed to Tunisia. And I’m done for the day, Murphy, let the directors know as soon as possible,” Ian said and stood up, stacking all his work properly and walking out of the office.
As he walked through the doors and saw how many people were working in his office, he realized that his vision from day one was enhanced widely.
Especially, the part of his dreams which were to sleep with as many as famous actresses he could.
‘Weird timing to think about it,’ Ian thought to himself and kept walking.

Two days later, Ian seated in front of Caden Lee, going through the documents of the set buildings he saw.
During just two months, they had done a great job. And everything he saw had been done meticulously and there were some points when Ian could say how identical were the features from the original movie.
He first saw Tatooine. One of the most iconic settings in the Star Wars universe, Tatooine was a desert planet.
The set builders created the moisture farm of Luke Skywalker with carefully constructed structures, including the famous Lars homestead and the moisture vaporators.
They used materials like plaster, fibreglass, and paints to create the weathered and sun-scorched appearance of the buildings. The set was built on location in Tunisia, which provided the authentic desert backdrop.
The colossal space station and headquarters of the Empire required an extensive set. The Death Star interiors were constructed on sound stages using a combination of modular and full-scale sets.
The set builders meticulously crafted the control rooms, detention blocks, and hallways, incorporating intricate details like control panels and walkways. The set was designed to convey the massive scale of the Death Star, with the use of forced perspective and clever camera angles.
Han Solo's legendary spaceship, the Millennium Falcon, was brought to life through a combination of set building and visual effects. The physical setting of the Millennium Falcon's interior was constructed, featuring the cockpit, living quarters, and corridors.
The set builders focused on creating a lived-in, "used universe" feel, adding details like grime, scratches, and worn-out elements. The set was designed to accommodate the needs of the actors and provide a realistic environment for their performances.
The bustling and diverse Mos Eisley Cantina on Tatooine was a key location in the movie. The set builders created a vibrant and otherworldly atmosphere by constructing the cantina bar, complete with unique alien species and intricate set dressing.
They used a combination of practical effects, prosthetics, and animatronics to bring the various alien characters to life.
Throughout the set-building process, the team paid meticulous attention to detail and authenticity, ensuring that each set reflected the vision of director Ian Renner.
They had used a mix of traditional construction techniques, creative prop-making, and innovative approaches to bring the imaginative world of Star Wars to life.
The set builders worked closely with the production designer, art director, and visual effects team to seamlessly integrate practical sets with visual effects.
“You do know what you had done was simply your creativity along with your team’s collaboration, right?” Ian questioned, remembering how Caden Lee was doubting himself in his first meeting.
Caden Lee almost walked out of the office room when they had first met and now, Ian saw the most perfect sets he could imagine to be recreated.
“All thanks to you, Mr. Renner. You had a proper vision, and that made it much easier. And yes, I was doubting myself a lot, but things kept on getting better,” he said and smiled.
“Well then, it’s settled. The rest of the payment will be settled,” Ian said, content with it.
“I’ll try and do my best during production too.”
“Good, things are just getting started.”
Ian simply said and shook hands with Lee, who was already smiling from ear to ear.
