I've wondered for a while how star wars started. Does anyone know how george lucas came up with this idea. I think he's a freakin genius for this. Through my history class, I 've learned that the Roman Empire once had a great republic then stuff happened and then they had an empire until the great city fell. Another thing that I've thought of is how Yoda talks. His verbs are usually at the end of his sentence and if you translate Japanese, they speak just like him. I'm just curious so if anyone has an idea about, let me know.

You might find this site intriguing. It has a plethora of information about the influences that fed into Star Wars. |

If you're interested in a much less serious version, the Star Wars fan film "George Lucas in Love" is quite funny. It is supposed to be the Star Wars parody to the film "Shakespeare in Love". In any case, it really is quite entertaining. -Radar

I'm still wondering where they got some of those names...Obi-wan kenobi? Where did that come from? I've always asked myself the same question! They're weird names, but they're really catchy. Some of the names (Darth MAUL, you know, the mace thing) are based off of real words manipulated to sound spacey. In my fan film, we're having a bit of trouble coming up with Star Warsy names. |
