Love George Lucas or hate him, you can’t deny that he is a creative genius and was pretty successful of his storytelling. While I am more of a Star Trek fan, I can appreciate Star Wars. I do like the original movies and the prequels too. George Lucas got so much hate and disrespect over the years. The man was never afraid to do what he wanted to do. He was never afraid to tell the stories he wanted to tell, whether other people liked it or not. All the success George got with Star Wars over the years, he didn’t get it for nothing. He created it all himself. The first Star Wars movie was heavily inspired by Akira Kurosawa’s film, “The Hidden Fortress”. I believe he wrote the script from there. It wasn’t easy for George to get studios interested in, “Star Wars”, as he kept getting rejected. George really wanted the stories to be told, and he did all he could to get the films made. George really worked hard. Congratulations to George on 30 years. He must be proud even to this day.

I might even watch, “A New Hope” later tonight.
