First, we have to go all the way back to 1977, where it all began. Actually, we’re going back even further, to George Lucas’s childhood in Modesto, California, to explore how a kid who grew up with dreams of becoming a race car driver turned into an adult who was into the experimental films of Stan Brakhage and the arthouse films of Fellini, Truffaut, and Kurosawa. And how that guy ended up, by his third film, making the biggest piece of pop culture that has ever existed.
This episode covers the biggest film that we’ve ever attempted to tackle, as we discuss the creation of STAR WARS and its huge impacts on the film industry and pop culture in general.
