George always said it best without using words.

[J5MARLON]

He treats his movies like he treats his hot rods he works them fix them and redo them.

Altamont?

@Goohuman Willow Springs International Raceway actually. 

[v4lkyr]

well I guess he IS a filmmaker after all, but why, oh god why, did he do Clone Wars

[J5MARLON]

@v4lkyr Because he loves the money.

[J6Studios]

Wow! Very cool.

[leviterande]

He loved cars:D!

with respect this was boring

[jasonnwest]

i heard he's making a prequel to this movie. No joke!

It makes sense that George Lucas shot a film about racing, knowing how much he loves car racing. He wrapped his car around a tree and that near death incident was one of the impetus that made him go into filmmaking. (This film makes me think of Spielberg's Duel feature)

Movie info says this was Lucas` "senior project". WTF ? You tellin me Lucas graduated with this movie ? Fu&% !

[LazyCritic08]

IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE?????????? As much as i don't like Lucas these days this short film is imaginative and personal, it's a lot better then a lot of other current student films which many lack an entertainment value, they're usually depressing and stale. THIS IS FUN TO WATCH.

Podracing is wizard.

7:19 minutes of film and this was way better than Tom Cruise's Days Of Thunder. The editing and action in this film is very good. A worth while look at on the medium of film making.
