George Lucas in Love

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.

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

What an excellent piece of work Joe Nussbaum needs a feature directing gig. I loved it. Download and watch as soon as you can. It is just fantastic. I laughed all the way through. I am usually pretty unimpressed with shorts, but this is just totally entertaining. I watched it a few times now, and it has great detail. Excellent parody. Large KUDOS!

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.

Exceptionally witty parody of "Shakespeare in Love" that has George Lucas struggling to complete his "Star Wars" script in order to pass his film class at USC. After meeting and falling in love with Marion, a fan of his earlier student films, he takes her advice and finishes the screenplay by "writing what he knows". Throughout the course of the film we get to see George's REAL inspirations for all our favorite Star Wars characters and plot twists, and the audience even gets the inside scoop on what motivated Lucas to executive produce "Howard the Duck"! This is certainly one of the best (short) spoof films ever.
