Lucas has previously taken his talking points from the great storytellers and story thinkers of the species: from Joseph Campbell, from Homer, from Thomas Malory, from Akira Kurosawa, from John Ford, from 4,000 years of tradition of epic voyages and grand adventures. But the mythic source he seems to have based this episode on is … “The McLaughlin Group.”

– From yet another unforgiving review of Episode II. Actually, I sort of enjoy The McLaughlin Group. Maybe this next Star Wars movie won’t be so bad after all. ;)
