In Honor of the Universal Day of the Jedi
As many of you already know (mostly because Kevin Carr wrote about it a few days ago), May 25th is the Universal Day of the Jedi, a day celebrated by Star Wars fans all over the world, as it is the anniversary of the release of Star Wars Episode IV, A New Hope. Yes, 31 years ago to the day George Lucas unleashed Star Wars unto the world, a film franchise that would forever change the face of both film and pop culture. It launched the careers of men like Harrison Ford, who just this weekend saw his own triumphant return to another iconic franchise with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and brought film into another era — the era of the blockbuster...

Before the Galaxy Far, Far Away
Influences on Star Wars
There was definitely, at one point, a world without Star Wars. Before May 25, 1977, the mythical universe created by Lucas was simply a work-in-progress; something that many in the business-side of Hollywood found challenging to comprehend. The whole concept was weird to them. What the hell was a Wookiee and why did he not have any pants on? What is this Force and who or what is a Jedi? In spite of the difficulties many of the execs had with understanding the story, the ancestry of Star Wars come from many different sources. Lucas often quotes Joseph Campbell and his studies into and publications about mythology to be a key influence. But it was more than that. While "the suits" thought that Sith Lords and Death Stars were just too peculiar, there were numerous films that Lucas used as inspiration for the Star Wars saga; inspirations that assisted him in molding the saga into a multigenerational story...
