Oddly enough, Lucas has one of the weakest understandings of what made it connect with people's imaginations in 1977 - if he even understands it at all. In my opinion, by the way, he does not.I was watching the extra features on a Star Wars DVD, and I remember George Lucas kept saying "laser sword" instead of "lightsaber."
I think that's because apparently it was supposed to be "laser sword", but Alec Guinness changed it to "lightsaber" cause it sounded more elegant.
Holy crap, never knew that tidbit. I cant imagine a world where one calls a lightsaber a laser word. Thank god for Sir Alec...
