POETRY NIGH GEORGE LUCAS TODAY

# And now I'll show you, kid

On the genius of George Luc #

Dear George Lucas...

Your followers lost constructed

a monument to your masterpiece...

... And murder its creator

with contempt?

George Lucas ruined

the last years of my adolescence.

Love and hate George Lucas' heart.

One day, he was only

a pastor of nerfs of Tatooine.

It was one of us.

There is something about our love

by Wars ...

That is different...

of our love for others.

It is rare that these films

can upset people.

But you really angry.

Wars is

most important to me.

Do not say it's only a movie.

It's not just a movie!

Without good G.L.,

we would have nothing of this!

Or this!

Stop that ship!

Chewie, get us out of here!

There was something inspiring

in the universe of Wars ...
