Beyond this tribute to the cinema professions, Nick Maley has another ambition: why do I manage a non-profit museum?
To encourage young people to pursue their dreams. At the end of the exhibition, a video is dedicated to them in which I tell them to do what they want and not what society tells them to do. This is how I lived my life and I did not do too badly. ”
"You have to look at what you have that the others don't have and bet on it to stand out" he says. When speaking, Nick Maley multiplies the aphorisms as if over time he had ended up merging with his creature Yoda - without however reversing the order of the words.
Life lessons he lists in a book called The Do or Do Not Outlook: 70 Steps to Achieving Your Dreams, published in 2017. “I didn't mean to have a philosophy, but people did. kept coming to ask me these questions.
I realized I had one, and that's what my little book of great ideas is about. It's a manual to help you keep chasing your dreams every day, ”says Nick Maley.
Although retired, he is still working, repairing, creating or renovating parts of his museum. So much so that he has not had time to get back to painting since his arrival on the island. "When I had enough time to go back to painting, I decided to recreate Yoda exactly as it was in The Empire Against Attack because I started to participate in conventions (from fans, ed.) ) and I realized there weren't many other people but me capable of doing it. If you want it to be authentic, you have to do it with the same techniques and materials as at the time. ” Not only to show the modernity of the design for the time, as well as how it could be moved, but also to show it to sick children in hospitals.
