An interesting story I’ve not heard before about George Lucas helping out with the first installment of another long running movie franchise.
It’s really cool how they both helped each other with their films. I really admire how their film circle had healthy competition but always helped one another.
Speaking of Brian De Palma, he opened up about the infamous first viewing of Star Wars from his prospective.
