Jedi, Sith and All Things Lucas

George Lucas. There Ive said it. You now have a feeling about him. Love him, hate him, think hes in it for the money, thinks hes in it for the fans. It doesnt matter. George Lucas is brlliant. How did he become brilliant? Well my spring chickens after minutes of thinking something up I have discovered how Geroge Lucas came up with his wild, imaginative and beautiful Star Wars series.
We must travel back in time to the year 1965. After a long nite of studying at Calcutta University George decided to relax by smoking some opium he harvested in his dorm window. After tripping out, George started writing of a time long ago in a galaxy far far away. After waking up the next day in a stupor George accidently handed in his ideas for Star Wars instead of his thesis on the mating habits of seagulls (which by the way is riveting). He was then kicked out of C.U. and sent back to America. In 1977, the fourth installment of the Star Wars trilogy was in place. Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, R2-D2, 3-CPO, Vader, Palpatine, Jar Jar. Ok so I lied about the last one. Let us never mention the name of a certain annoying gungan ever again.
Now we flash foward to the year 1999. George Lucas is planning to finish the series with the first three episodes. Starring Ewan Macgregor, Hayden Christenson, Natalie Portman, Samuel L. Jackson, Yoda. The first two were only mild success' after harsh critical and fan based voices were heard. Will the third installment, Revenge of The Sith, make Georgie boy a hero or a villian in the eyes of the public? We'll just have to wait another 2 months.
The third installment was shot entirely with digital film which will make this one of best looking films ever. Now before I said Mr. Lucas smoked opium. That was an untruth. Actually his true and secret way of making a classic movie involves one simple ingredient. Tacos. Yes, my lovely and possibly one-eyed gungan audience, tacos. Ive said to much already though and I think I hear the Imperial March song coming. Which means people from Lucasfilm are coming with white armour and blasters.
So whats the point you ask? Firstly, what a stupid question. Does anything I do make sense? No. Secondly, it gives you hope my precious' . Mayhaps after supping on tacos one nite you come up with the next great film of the century. Or maybe its just gas. What do I know? So young Padawans I leave you with this advice. The more you eat crazy food suggestions from some wierd guy on a blog, the more you realize how gullible you are.
George Lucas also has a pompadour and a beard.
Thank you and goodnite.
THAT CUP is coming on to me.
