While I'm no authority on Lucas by any means, I have all three Rinzler Making of books and I'm afraid I don't recognize most of your content. What sources did you use? Your graphic descriptions of ritualized mutilation and torture simply don't gel with anything I've heard or read about George Lucas' writing. (Temple of Doom was about the darkest thing he produced and that's miles more genteel than what you've written.)

Star Wars came out of, among other things, George's childhood love for old serials, which were rebroadcast in TV's earliest days as compiled episodes. He felt that kids in the 70s were growing up without heroes. Films were too dark, too violent.

I guess I'm asking, is this a thread based on researched fact, or is it Star Wars inspired fan fiction?

You've obviously put quite a bit of effort into this thread, and I'm simply trying to understand your intentions. :)
