One Man's Dream
If I were to go back in time to the early 70's and pluck one man from our dimension and drop him in one where everybody just adores Jar Jar Binks, this wiki/fansite and everything on it may as well be about Star Trek. Imagine... no Star Wars. We would live our lives not knowing who Obi-Wan and Darth Vader were, and would all be just like that guy I mentioned earlier in the intro, hiding under a big rock in the Arizona Desert.
This man is one whom I utterly respect, yet will continuously make fun of throughout this guide/review just for your pleasure. He is none other than George Walton "totally messed up Eps. 1 and 2" Lucas Jr.

His father, who was mainly of British and Swiss heritage, ran a stationery store (which pretty much stayed in the same place) and owned a small walnut orchard. His mother was a member of a prominent Modesto family (one of her cousins is the mother of former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture and director of Unicef Ann Veneman) and was mainly of German and Scots-Irish heritage.
