Good article about Ron Howard coming on (with a cool bit about Lucas)

Nice article, quite interesting and adds on nicely to what I’ve read so far in George Lucas’s biography “George Lucas - A Life”.
My reservations about the PT and the way he bastardised his own OT creations aside, it is an extremely interesting read and gives some great insights into his film making (even to how much of his own life events influenced his films) and how he came to be a writer and director at all instead of possibly a grease monkey (mechanic), a stationary store manager, a race car driver or a stain on the side of the road.
It’s also amazing to read about some of the people he collaborated and went through film school with that became big names in the industry themselves and other now well known names he rubbed shoulders with as started working in the film industry proper. I highly recommend the book to anyone interested in such stuff and I’m only 1/5 through in reading it myself 😉
