Did George Lucas Rape Your Childhood?

There isn’t a director out there who can build a movie franchise like George Lucas. That said, there isn’t anyone who can kill a franchise with such hackneyed gusto. Did you see the Indiana Jones Crystal Skull movie? Indie is saved from a nuclear blast by climbing in a lead refrigerator. Really?

“The People Vs. George Lucas,” a new documentary about Star Wars creator George Lucas, makes its premier at South by Southwest this Saturday. The film charts the love/hate relationship between Lucas and his fans — who gave their childhoods to Star Wars only to be betrayed later in life by Jar Jar Binks.
