George Lucas in Love

Nothing more to say about this movie than how absolutely I adore people who come up with ideas like these.

To put young George Lucas into college and show his inspirations for all the famous Star Wars characters is such a simple idea that it is pure genius. I especially liked the Han Solo and Chewbacca inspiration - way cool!

Maybe it's because it doesn't overstay its welcome (far from it with that tiny running time) but "George Lucas in Love" is a delight; a playful look at how Lucas ironed out his script for "Star Wars". Key elements from the trilogy existed all around him as eccentric classmates and professors on the grounds of USC. It's a novel concept for an indie short film, and the homage is loving to the point of being innocuous. Put another way, the references are inventive and it makes for something refreshing and very funny.

A great spin on the mythos.

7/10

This was a great short. It was creative and funny and I especially enjoyed all the parodies of Star Wars and other works by Lucas, including Howard the Duck. Would this have worked just as a regular feature film? I'm not sure, but all 8 minutes of it is very enjoyable.

The origin of Star Wars can finally be revealed in George Lucas In Love a brilliant short-film which gives the true story behind the writing of the classic movie.

This is another well-known spoof of Star Wars & is a brilliant comedy about how it all began. Taking his inspiration from his colleagues, teachers & a woman with a familiar hairstyle a young film student by the name of George Lucas endeavours to write a sci-fi screenplay.

Although short in length this film isn't short in laughs as there are numerous jokes about the films we know so well. Many of these are visual gags but some incidents also mirror events in A New Hope. This film never fails to hit the mark taking inspiration from not only Star Wars but the Oscar winning Shakespeare In Love.

Like Troops this feature defies its low-budget constraints to give a very professional feel. The acting is good especially from Martin Hynes & the film even imitates the style of Star Wars with similar wipes & cuts. Every Star Wars fan should beg, borrow or steal a copy of this film as you can't afford to miss it!

Who could think that the story of creation of a galaxy can be told within 8 minutes in such a pleasant way? What a creative work. Everything about this short movie is creative: The music is great(a mixture of Star Wars and Shakespear in Love), editing and above all, the inspiration. If you are a movie lover don't miss this one.
