Published: July 14, 2018, 10 a.m.

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\u2019re tackling American Graffiti, THX 1138, Freiheit,\xa01:42:08, Look At Life, and how they relate to Star Wars. In part one, we cover the theme of adolescence. In part two, it\u2019s all about the theme of freedom. Then, finally, in part three, we cover the concept of trauma and how George Lucas uses it to further his character\u2019s journeys.\n \xa0\n Watch some of the films on our YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn89wzyHQg0&list=PLKfuckzX9GHV4f02kx0AxZ7X7b61RUnkB\n http://www.twitter.com/skytalkerspod\n http://www.twitter.com/crerrity\n http://www.twitter.com/caitlinplesher\n http://skytalkers.com\nLearn more about your ad choices.
