George Lucas in Love

Who could think that the story of creation of a galaxy can be told within 8 minutes in such a pleasant way? What a creative work. Everything about this short movie is creative: The music is great(a mixture of Star Wars and Shakespear in Love), editing and above all, the inspiration. If you are a movie lover don't miss this one.

Maybe it's because it doesn't overstay its welcome (far from it with that tiny running time) but "George Lucas in Love" is a delight; a playful look at how Lucas ironed out his script for "Star Wars". Key elements from the trilogy existed all around him as eccentric classmates and professors on the grounds of USC. It's a novel concept for an indie short film, and the homage is loving to the point of being innocuous. Put another way, the references are inventive and it makes for something refreshing and very funny.

A great spin on the mythos.

What an excellent piece of work Joe Nussbaum needs a feature directing gig. I loved it. Download and watch as soon as you can. It is just fantastic. I laughed all the way through. I am usually pretty unimpressed with shorts, but this is just totally entertaining. I watched it a few times now, and it has great detail. Excellent parody. Large KUDOS!

For all who wonder how George Lucas got his inspiration for the "Star Wars" movies, here is how it came about (maybe). George has writer's block and can't figure things out in time to graduate, but people come into his life to help out right when he needs it. This movie is hilarious with hidden references to the "Star Wars" movies and a few of Lucas' other works! Something that is fun to show a small group of people late at night, or just a die hard SW fan. And great for outright laughs and something to chew on before EPISODE III opens on May 19th!

Search the web for this, it comes pretty cheap at $12-15 per copy, and is well worth the money spent!!!

Nothing more to say about this movie than how absolutely I adore people who come up with ideas like these.

To put young George Lucas into college and show his inspirations for all the famous Star Wars characters is such a simple idea that it is pure genius. I especially liked the Han Solo and Chewbacca inspiration - way cool!
