Moviemaker of the Week: George Lucas
Even the most casual of moviegoers are intimately acquainted with the many contributions that George Lucas has made to the motion picture medium over the last three decades. From his light years-ahead special effects to his foresight in securing the merchandising rights to his movies, Lucas has been on the bleeding edge of cinema technology since his student days at USC.
So why honor him now?
This week--May 25th, to be exact--marks the 30th anniversary of the U.S. release Lucas’ seminal Star Wars. In addition to the film’s millions of rabid fans worlwide, The History Channel is also paying homage to this iconic moviemaker with a brand-new documentary, Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed, premiering Monday, May 28th at 9:00 p.m. EST.

I’m such a Luca’s Arts freak! I love this man for The Curse of Monkey Island! The best thing from my childhood.

I think that Lord of The Rings is today’s Star Wars. They are different, but both epic. I still say Lucas is one of the most brilliant minds of the 20th century.

I’m waiting for his upcoming movie “the Clone Wars”. Actually what I really want is another trilogy about Yuuzhan Vong invasion. We can still use Hamill, Fisher and Ford with their aged looks.
