2002 George Lucas interview:
Q: What religion are you?
A: I was raised Methodist. Now let's say I'm spiritual. It's Marin County. We're all Buddhists up here.
More evidence that Lucas underwent a major personality shift between the OT and the PT, which also explains the strong good versus evil undercurrent which for some reason he is so uncomfortable with in the PT.
Makes you wonder why he didn't give any of the PT villains redeemable qualities if he's so uncomfortable with stark black-and-white morality tales.
