Interesting Article about George Lucas

can be found here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21365041/

titled: Can Lucas be trusted with the Star Wars Universe? Key Quote:

"What sent us out into the summer air from the theaters in 1977 and right back into the ticket line to see it all again was his ability to hit on a combination of certain mythological truths so ancient they’re practically embedded in our DNA, and he played that chord with big spaceships exploding in the background."

Lucas has hired Craig Titley, who was in our parallel G Track myth cohort, as a writer for the film series. According to Ginette Paris, it was his MA in Mythological Studies that made him attractive to Lucas.

I meant to say TV series, not film series. Craig did tell me (this was on the Dionysus Day event for FMS) that it would be more than a year before the TV series started to air.

That is so cool! So maybe a degree in Mythological Studies can be useful in the real world. ;)
