Did you know George Lucas started out as an anthropology major?

Me neither. Check out this interview from NPR’s Fresh Air. The whole story is quite interesting, but if you want to skip it, the last few minutes are discussion of the myths behind Star Wars and Campbell’s influence on Lucas.

    It actually explains a lot really, if you think about how could you write such an amazing screen play without know ing about man himself. If you know all about Man then you could understand what he/she wanted to see.
