A Fantastic Interview with George Lucas!

Alright folks, this is a STAR WARS item that.... well isn't about the effects or the CGI. Instead it's about the intellectual side of STAR WARS that those people out there that just see the lightsabers and the rubber mask often overlook. In this TIME magazine interview between George Lucas and Bill Moyers, you'll read about the real meaning of "USE THE FORCE" and what it is that George Lucas is trying to do with the story of STAR WARS.

Now I know good and well that in TALK BACK below there are going to be people that... won't get this, or that will try to "Get Your Goat"... But you know what? Don't fall for it. Let's discuss the issues and points that get brought up in this interview. This is one for all of us that discovered Joseph Campbell because of STAR WARS, and learned about THE POWER OF MYTHS. This is an interview that makes you think, so... Go read it, and let's hear what you thought!
