Excellent interview. Guys like that are a dying breed. He hits the nail on the head about the feel of the universe.
I just love the idea of someone digging around in a scrap bin and just assembling a lightsaber from found stuff. I'd love to do that kind of thing.
I would be ecstatic if he was involved even just as a consultant for the new films, because this man knows the aesthetic for the entire Star Wars galaxy.
Also, I always get sad when people describe young Lucas. It's like the man is dead or something.
