Roger Barton (born July 1, 1965, in Los Angeles) is an American film editor.[1] He has worked on dozens of Hollywood films, including Titanic, Armageddon, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, and Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.[2]

Career

[edit]

He is best known for editing large budget action films, such as those in the Transformers film series directed by Michael Bay.[2] Barton cites James Cameron’s original 1984 The Terminator movie as "one of the reasons I got into film—it had that big of an impact on me.” He eventually worked as assistant editor for two of the editors of Terminator series, Mark Goldblatt and Dody Dorn.[3]

His son, Aidan Barton, appeared in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith as baby Luke Skywalker and baby Princess Leia.[4][5][6]
