Summary

By George is our three-episode series on the work of George Lucas, separated by themes and dotted with his history. In this episode, we cover the 70s and 80s — the Star Wars trilogy, his work on Indiana Jones and his friendship with Steven Spielberg, and, yes, we are going to talk about Captain EO. The themes we cover are Success, Independence, and Oversaturation. Plus, we get really excited about the fact that the Clone Wars is returning. All this and more on this episode of Skytalkers.
