Young George

Something I threw together because the whole things just makes me sad. 

This is the man who directed my favorite movie...

I wish that I could just wish my feelings away...but I can't.  Wishful wishing can only lead to wishes wished for in futile wishfulness, which is not what I wish to wish for.

Some of the young GL clips are from the CBS broadcast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN3aDEpSRZU (jump to 4:45) 

TMZ clip: http://www.tmz.com/2012/03/29/george-lucas-star-wars-dead/

The recent Oprah special.  The rest of the young GL probably Making of SW: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkP4Z3PNfoA

Well, it's not so odd if he's old and grumpy, now that he has inconsiderate nerds jumping out in front of him with a camera shouting about: "Ehm, ehm, Harrison, and ehm, Carrie and... Ah, Harrison and ehm, Carrie and ...."

 

Do us all a favor, sit down, and shut up.

RE: Old George

Thanks guys.  The clips are definitely not new, I just pulled them from youtube, but I don't think anyone actually put them together in a row before to actually give the impression of what he was like then.

You can see he's more focused on other people, talking about "Star Wars" from audience point of view.  It's been a long time since people have been able to see a movie like this, he says.  He comes off as humble, kind of shy, and wanting to make other people happy- definitely not "into himself".

I wish that I could just wish my feelings away...but I can't.  Wishful wishing can only lead to wishes wished for in futile wishfulness, which is not what I wish to wish for.

You should def retitle this Young George Lucas. I thought i was going to be seeing footage of a grey-haired GL.

Also, this is fantastic. Good job!

"When George went back and put new creatures into the original Star Wars, I find that disturbing. It’s a revision of history. That bothers me."

Done and done.  Thanks Zombie!  I enjoyed reading excerpts from "Secret Star Wars" on your site a few years ago....
