George Lucas – Reason #16 Why I Love America

George Lucas in a montage with many of his most iconic characters

George Lucas is awesome. His mind is a galaxy just after being born, the cosmos lit by its brilliance. And that’s putting it mildly. Considering the probability of a limitless number of stars, galaxies, and universes, there is a probability that the fictional worlds George Lucas created actually flourishes/flourished somewhere in existence. Whether that’s true or not, it’s a definitely fact that this world exists in our collective consciousness. Entertainment today is very much influenced on many different levels by George Lucas.

From Indiana Jones to Darth Vader and everything in between, George Lucas has inspired many people to think outside of the box in which we live. He has entertained us, made us question his decisions, and tickled our fancies for nearly 50 years. If there were one living person I could spend an afternoon with, it would be George Lucas. I’m not a fan, per se, in the traditional sense of the word. I am an admirer of him and his work. I am inspired by him. But, most of all, he is a role model for me as an entrepreneur.

I guess you could call me a fan, at least a little. Oh, and even though he’s not directing, I can’t wait for Star War VII The Force Awakens.
