Bill Moyers joined George Lucas at Skywalker Ranch in northern California to talk about the ancient myths and personal values that have synthesized into Star Wars. The epic themes in Lucas' cinematic stories are a springboard for a candid conversation about family, fatherhood, spiritual beliefs, and the importance of moral tales for every generation. Intercut with movie footage from the original trilogy as well as the prequel, The Mythology of Star Wars with George Lucas and Bill Moyers provides a revealing journey in the company of the filmmaker through some of the most famous scenes of the Star Wars saga.

  • I don't think George Lucas gets enough credit for his intelligence. He really has the mind of a philosopher with some amazing perspective. Great interview.

  • A very well done documentary!!! Understanding Star Wars thru the eyes of the GREAT VISIONARY GEORGE LUCAS. THANK YOU for bringing this EPIC story into exsistence!

  • too bad he didnt use anything he learned for the prequals,

  • AH A VERY GOOD SECRET MESSAGE IN THE STAR WARS ABOUT OUR WORLD

  • I can't help but think Luke=jesus or messiah and the empire=the Romans

  • I still think it was a horrible idea to have a biological explanation for the force.

  • i wish i could have been friends with Joseph Campbell

  • @weirdosrok No, no he is not

  • Why doesn’t anyone ask him some serious questions? Why does he still direct when he is clearly more a FX guy? Or why does he write scripts when he is not a people person? Did anyone ever say NO to him at any point during the making of the new Star Wars and just tell him his idea sucked?

  • great interview. very insightful, interesting thoughts offered by george.

  • I've been looking ALL OVER for this documentary. thanks :D
