Jacobi discusses just how he entered into making this: “Seeing that creator/host Connor Ratliff had done the same nerdy deep dive and knew all the intricate details of George Lucas’s life, while not taking any of it too seriously, connected me to this performer immediately… I learned so much through Connor about the value of play for the sake of play, being present in the moment, and not judging my own creativity—that the profound can be found even in foolish things.” That’s an excellent pitch! It’s far more than simply an account of a phony “George Lucas.” I wonder. A incredibly unpopular doc for fellow geeks.
