Many years ago I was thumbing through my new issue of Star Wars Insider and I hit upon a review of a movie called George Lucas in Love. A parody of Shakespeare in Love, which was out the year prior, GLiL is about a young George who has writer's block at...

I cannot tell the joy of finding this. I thought this was a feature forever, and I thought it an intrigueing setup. But I have found out that it was a really creative short that is readily available on the web.
Speaking of Star Wars Insider, I just found my old stack of it in a box in my room and have been taking a look at them. For those of you who do not know of this publication, it is what it sounds like: a nerdy fan magazine about Star Wars. It experianced infrequent publishing for years, originally titled LucasFilm Fan Club magazine. Then when the trilogy was being rereleased and they started to heat up again, they switched titles.
And it was the big STAR WARS INSIDER that caught my eye in the barnes & noble magazine rack, sucking on my mocha latte (my gateway drug to the harder coffees like straight espresso shots and heavy blends like sumatra and christmas). I was hooked. I remember my first issue, with Han Solo in the hanger on Tatooine with the CG Jabba on the cover. The article on the cult of Boba Fett, and an interview with Jeremy Bullock (who played him in both movies).
I read it so much and was so enthusiastic that my Grandparents payed for a subscription renewal well into my teens, resulting in a 10 pound stack of nerdom on the bottom of my shelf.
Anyway, it should be interesting to peel through these things.
