George Lucas in Love

George Lucas in Love is a 1999 American parodical short film directed by Joe Nussbaum.

A parody of Shakespeare in Love, it depicts a young George Lucas and his real-life inspirations behind the characters and plot of Star Wars.

Taking a break from his work, George goes on to encounter classmates and teachers who resemble and will influence the eventual creation of, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Jabba the Hutt, R2-D2, and C-3PO.

George Lucas is a fan of this movie, having sent a congratulatory letter to the filmmakers, which they show in a hidden Easter egg on the DVD.
