Maybe you made this connection and I missed it, but, it’s interesting to connect Lucas’ desires for control and freedom to the overarching themes Star Wars. In the series the Jedi order teaches that one must let go of their attachments and trust the Force while the path to the dark side is all about having control. And, I wonder after having so much success in achieving his goal of having total control, I wonder if Lucas’ own personal journey led him to a place where he felt he needed to let go.
Immediately replayed this. Thank you so much
I’ve been led to some amazing books via this podcast. Some of the richest content on the net imo.
