First of all, why is the interview conducted walking around outside with gregorian chant in the background? Secondly, I am very glad he started to get into plot, because his student films are not entertaining or interesting. Thirdly, the audio got out of sync for part of it. I am not sure if that was because I skipped over THX or if it is the original video, but with the way the interview has gone so far, it wouldn’t surprise me.

I wish someone would tell this interviewer how to say the word “cassette.” It is really frustrating me.

This interview isn’t so much an interview with George Lucas as much as it is a lecture by the interviewer. He just keeps going on and on as if he had written everything out ahead of time, and didn’t let George Lucas talk very much. I wonder if public TV in California is still like this with interviews out in the mountains somewhere with long intellectual lectures about the future, which ends up being mostly wrong. This guy is speaking about VHS as if it was the internet. How wrong he was.
