You said it all perfectly...Yeah, I'm with Josh. You said it all perfectly. Amen indeed. I mean, why? Just WHY would anyone do that?

PREACH.<br /><br />I read an interesting article a few months ago that confirms a hunch I had: George Lucas wasn't responsible for the parts of Star Wars I love. Check it out:<br /><br />http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2010/08/12/star-wars-was-born-a-long-time-ago-but-not-all-that-far-far-away-in-1972-filmmakers-george-lucas-and-gary-kurtz-wer/<br /><br />People like Kurtz, Ralph McQuarrie [conceptual artist], Ben Burtt, John Williams. Lucas was the captain smart enough to bring all the parts together, but then got drunk on his own power - never quite coming back to reality, using the story to drive toy sales.<br /><br />I know I have Empire to thank for my obsession with space battles in the snow.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05494195374798993640noreply@blogger.com
