The Mythology of Starwars

I have been on a Joseph Campbell kick for the last year or so. In my research I discovered that George Lucas actually held Joseph Campbell in high regard – as a mentor as a matter of fact. Apparently he consulted a lot with him as wrote the first few movies in the Starwars saga.

Here is a link to a site that has a video interview with George Lucas regarding the mythology of Starwars, and how he leveraged what Joseph Campbell taught to make his stories powerful. Here is the link:

I hope this helps inspire your writing.

Good hunting!
