Episode 41: George Lucas
from Blockbuster Film School · host Blockbuster Film School
What’s the best way to appear completely over something while also flaunting how powerful you are? Sell it for billions of dollars then give away the loot. Being one of the most successful film producers while also one of the more divisive movie directors has garnered George Lucas uneven career highlights. He went from creating two of the most cherished cinematic worlds of all time with Star Wars and Indiana Jones to utterly destroying them *repeatedly* to being celebrated for threatening to crush someone else’s franchise like a bug. Even by the end of the recording we weren’t exactly sure to feel. There is one thing we definitely do know: Blockbuster Film School does not want to be contacted by George Lucas’ lawyers so everything heard within is a joke. Except that we hate sand; that bit’s true.
