\"WhoIsGeorgeLucass260x420\"<\/a>I was unsure what to expect from the book Who Is George Lucas?<\/em><\/a>\u00a0 The title sounded interesting, but the book is clearly intended for a school age crowd.<\/p>\n

The moment I started reading the book I was captivated. \u00a0A very easy to read page turner the book is filled with interesting facts and stories about the man who went on to play a major role in making so many movies that influenced and thrilled a generation of cinema goers.<\/p>\n

From reading about his childhood, and desire to be a race car driver — and how that actually turned him around and inspired him to become a better student, to reading about his teaching college courses to US Navy Cameramen while in college, I learned a great deal about the man who at one time considered making documentaries, and yet even in college was winning awards with his futuristic movies (Electronic Labyrinth THX 1138 4EB).<\/p>\n

The book presents a well-rounded view of the man who went on to make Star Wars<\/em>, even when friends were telling him it\u00a0was a disaster, teasing him about Princess Leia’s hair and the force. \u00a0Covering his life, and accomplishments to date, Who Is George Lucas?<\/em><\/a> is a fun and informative read for anyone wanting to know more about the man behind so many movies they’ve enjoyed over the years.<\/p>\n

This unauthorized biography Penguin was handing out at San Diego’s Comic-Con International is by\u00a0Pamela Pollack and Meg Belviso, with illustrations by Ted Hammond.<\/p>\n
