Say whatever you want about where he took the franchise later and rereleases and whoring it out for every red cent... The man had a hell of a vision back in the day

All he did was read Joseph Campbell's "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" and turn it into a sci-fi flick. Don't get me wrong the original three were good pictures, but it is the most formulaic way to make a story. You can find every step in the hero's journey like clockwork.

All he did was make a sci-fi movie in a way that had never been done before, and establish a franchise that spans generations. That's all...

It appears that Noel Fielding is a) eternal b) a time traveller c) both

Somehow I expected the young George Lucas to look like a giga nerd, yet I am still surprised to see this
