I am fully convinced that George Lucas, the maker of Star Wars, is the modern day Shakespeare. Or even Homer, you get the point, I think George Lucas will be hailed in the next 1000 years as one of the imaginaries of our time. The Star Wars Saga, which does not only include the movie and tv series he has put into film, but it includes years and years of story line that branches into the furthest detail of what ideas and morals we have in our own society. When you think of Star wars don't just think of Luke Skywalker fighting the rancor, that would be like just thinking of Odysseus tricking the Cyclops in the Odyssy. There is a much larger significance to the literature George Lucas brings in the entire Star Wars story, much like the greater significance Shakespeare or Homer brings in their epics. Star Wars is our modern myth, our modern epic which incompasses the world's ideas about religion, politics, government, morals, philosophy, love, and more into an aray of individual characters. Not to mention the lightsaber duels are bad ass. Remeber I said it here, when Bill Shakespeare or Homer were never recognized in their own times as they should have been, and it took the test of time for people to recognize their brilliance, I say now George Lucas is the man of the hour....Sith Out-

Hmm, KFC is greasy, heart attack in a box, so that is no compliment. I think George Lucas is a nerd, who taught all the other nerds to aspire to greatness. Yes, the original Star Wars trilogy was genius, but i for one think he should have either left it at that, or actually started with book 1, which was actually released as 4. Can you say More Money? My goodness, the man is a gazillionare from all the licenced Star Wars crap. Me thinks its overkill, but what do I know anyway, I am just a grocery store worker with a blog. LOL.
