Indiana Jones had Harrison Ford (Jewish) fighting and killing Nazi's. Several of his Movies have had Jews in them - Star Wars had Carrie Fisher (Jewish Convert), and Natalie Portman (Israeli born Jew)

And he is great Friends with Steven Speilberg - a Jew.

Anyone know?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure George Lucas is Jewish.

Lucas doesn't have particularly Jewish looks, and Jewhoo doesn't mention him, which I think they would, shoudl he be a MOT.

I always thought Lucas was an outsider to the movie business. The press savages him, or at least the bolshevik San Francisco Chronicle does, for his heroic conception and his "racism", i.e. using non-whites as villains. I guess he's a gentile.

This doesn't sound Jewish to me. It's hard to make movies without a few Jews in your films --- they run the industry.

[QUOTE]George Lucas was raised on a walnut ranch in Modesto, California. His father was a stationery store owner and he had three siblings. During his late teens he went to Downey High School and was very much interested in drag car racing. He planned to become a professional racecar driver. However a terrible car accident just after his high school graduation ended that dream permanently. The accident changed his views on life. He decided to attend Modesto Junior College before enrolling in the University of Southern California film school. As a film student he made several short films including THX-1138: 4EB (Electronic Labyinth) which won first prize at the 1967-68 National Student Film Festival. In 1967 he was awarded a scholarship by Warner Brothers to observe the making of Finian's Rainbow (1968) which was being directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Lucas and Coppola became good friends and formed a company called American Zoetrope in 1969. The company's first project was Lucas' full-length version of THX 1138 (1971). [/QUOTE]

THX 1138 was a very good film. One of my all time favorites, in fact.

I like his vaguely individualist, vaguely federalist message, but generally he just churns out mass-marketed fluff.

I'm almost 100% certain he's not. I remember seeing some documentary ages ago about the spiritual/religious subtext of Star Wars where they discussed his background.

Looks like I stand corrected. I must have been confusing him with Harrison Ford or somebody. That's a relief, as I hate to think that the earliest three Star Wars movies -- three of my favorite movies of all time -- were the brainchildren of a Jew.

Sorry to tell you this, Angler, but "[I]The Empire Strikes Back[/I]" was directed by Jew [B]Irwin Kershner[/B] and its screenplay was co-written by Jew [B]Lawrence Kasdan[/B]...

I have never cared much about the whole franchise anyways.

Nonetheless, [I]Empire Strikes Back[/I] is a fantastic movie, and the [I]Star Wars[/I] series touches upon many themes and motifs that are very stirring to the human psyche. Not [I]everything[/I] that Jews produce is culturally poisonous or spiritually demoralizing for the White race.

I have never heard of George Lucas being Jewish.

He was deeply influenced by the very interesting [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Campbell]Joseph Campbell.[/url]

Joseph Campbell is an interesting influence, and is another item in the "not Jewish" column; after he died some Jew accused Campbell of being an antisemite, based on some alleged private comments, but near as I can tell from his writings Campbell was not friendly to literalist religions in general, and probably not friendly towards a literalist, tribalist religion like Judaism in particular.

Anyway, I wouldn't consider a boycott of something just because a Jew was connected to it; Kubrick is one of my favorite film directors, based on his style and cinematography alone, and his films are interesting and not particularly anti-gentile, either.

I'd boycott anything that was obviously anti-white or was anti-Christian based on cultural prejudices; ie, I'm not a believer but I'm part of Christian Western culture, and I recognize a Jewish racial attack on my culture when I see it - nothing in any of the Star Wars movies qualifies as such.
