George Lucas book?
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me with a query.
I heard somewhere that George Lucas said that there was a book that helped him come up with the ideas for Star Wars. I don't know the title or anything, but apparently it was something about how there are only a few basic stories, and every movie is basically just an interpretation of one or more of these.
Does anyone have any idea what this book could be?
of course he stole that 🙄
like Tolkien stole it from the bible:
To Endor, Saul resorted to consult one reputed to be a witch on the eve of his last engagement with the Philistines (1 Sam. 28:7). It is identified with the modern village of Endur, "a dirty hamlet of some twenty houses, or rather huts, most of them falling to ruin," on the northern slope of Little Hermon, about 7 miles from Jezreel.
Actually, the Power of Myth didn't come out until 1987, its a transcript of the Joseph Campbell interview with host Bill Moyers filmed in the Skywalker Ranch library in 1986 right before Campbell died. The book he used was "The Hero's Journey". It's in one of the documentaries in the bonus featurettes/documentaries.
