Not only hilarious but also heart touching. I guess you have to love Star Wars to truly appreciate this one with all the references but even without all that knowledge it is definitely a funny film with excellent acting and music.It's a short film about inspiration with some great quotes. "Search not, inspiration will you not find. It will find you." Oh and it's a hundred times better than that overrated turd, Shakespeare in love, even if it's only 10 minutes long! Here's my faves: "My mom's coming over so could you get rid of the...pharmacy?" "It's not what you would call technically DONE, done yet.""And George, the beard...not working for you! Hehehehehe"

Forget SPACEBALLS. This short film may be the most truly inventive and genuinely funny and witty spoof of STAR WARS (and Shakespeare IN LOVE!) you will ever see.(Spoilers) For example, in just one 30 second or so clip where the film student George Lucas goes from his dorm to visit his teacher, we "learn" where he got his inspiration for Han Solo and Chewbacca, for the "Evil Empire", for C3PO and R2D2, for Yoda, and even the music from the Mos Eisely cantina! That's sheer genius.It also doesn't look like a cheaply made production, what with such fine sets and acting from the principals. The inspiration for "Leia" is also a lovely actress, whatever happened to her? (Lysa Jakub) The only problem in fact with the film is that it is just 8 minutes long. You really want it to go on and on as it is literally a laugh every second.As for why my comment subject is named that way, you just have to see this!

'George Lucas In Love' is a clever short film about how the Star Wars was conceived by Lucas while he was a film student. Of course this is not based on reality, it's more of a what if all the ideas were around him all the time.The film starts in George's room, where he's trying to create his script, that would be his ticket to graduation. But he's stuck on ideas of space farmers, who's crops of space corn or space wheat or space whatever are poor. So Lucas leaves to wander around the campus and he finds his muse, his inspiration. Shakespeare in Love would be the second thing parodied in the film.Film is well directed and the acting is good. What is interesting is how much Martin Hynes looks like young George Lucas. GLIL is a fun little film that gives a couple of giggles here and there. I'd recommend to watch it, if you catch it from somewhere.

GEORGE LUCAS IN LOVEA Joe Nussbaum parody1967. George Lucas (convincingly nerdy Martin Hynes) is having trouble finishing his script for his epic about space oats, "3XR-259.7". When he meets Marion (Lisa Jakub) he finds true love and realizes that inspiration is right in front of him.The spoof genre is a tough one. If it works, it can be hilarious, if it doesn't, it's often dreadful. Movies like Not Another Teen Movie are perfect examples of what a bad spoof is: lazy writing, lame attacks on famous movies, mind-numbingly stupid jokes, and an inconsistent plot.Thankfully, GEORGE LUCAS IN LOVE is everything a spoof should strive to be. The jokes are clever, subtle and spot-on. The characters are hilarious spoofs of famous "Star Wars" names, especially the backwards-talking professor (Patrick Kerr), George's stoned roommate (Jason Peck) and his visions, and the evil asthmatic Aaron (Jeff Wiens).The acting is top-notch, even if most of the cast members' characters are purely for comedic purpose. The best part of the movie is probably the shattering twist at the end.GEORGE LUCAS IN LOVE is a movie that does perfectly what it's supposed to do. It generates many chuckles but even though it's a very good production and a clever spoof, the laugh out loud-level is not as high as in another recent Star Wars spoof, the hilarious "A Lost Hope". Still, it is a good spoof film and easy to enjoy. 8 out of 10.
