@ the movies
rating: 4.5 stars

George Lucas, having run out of Star Wars movies he wants to make, continues to sell us the same movie we've seen 70 times in yet another format. Here's the original theatrical version of Star Wars on DVD (in quaint Dolby 2.0!) so you can prove to your lesser nerd buddies that Han indeed shoots first. Empire and Jedi are also available.

Aidan Wasley argues that taken collectively, the six Star Wars films form the greatest postmodern art film ever made. I've been waiting for someone to write this article; Lucas' art film background and interests have always been hinted at but never really examined in that much detail re: Star Wars.

The friendship and rivalry of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.

Rolling Stone interview with George Lucas from 1977.

If you're going to see Revenge of the Sith again, look for these easter eggs. Both the Millennium Falcon and George Lucas have cameo appearances.

Great rant about George Lucas and Star Wars. Warning, some spoilers for Revenge of the Sith in the last few paragraphs.
