| - In the film, George Lucas is a USC college student in 1967, and is suffering from writer's block as he tries to write a movie about a young space farmer with a bad crop of space wheat. Everywhere he goes, viewers see classmates and teachers that either resemble or will influence the creation of Darth Vader, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Jabba the Hutt, not to mention R2-D2 and C-3PO. Lucas is surrounded by inspiration, but sees nothing. Not even his adviser, who looks and talks suspiciously like Yoda, is able to help him.

| - In the film, George Lucas is a USC college student in 1967, and is suffering from writer's block as he tries to write a movie about a young space farmer with a bad crop of space wheat. Everywhere he goes, viewers see classmates and teachers that either resemble or will influence the creation of Darth Vader, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Jabba the Hutt, not to mention R2-D2 and C-3PO. Lucas is surrounded by inspiration, but sees nothing. Not even his adviser, who looks and talks suspiciously like Yoda, is able to help him. Eventually, young Lucas meets his muse, a young woman (with a very unusual hairdo) at the head of a student rebellion. After they meet, everything falls into place for Lucas, as she urges him to "write what you know." Lucas' writers block quickly dissipates and he pounds out his masterpiece. However, his shot at romance with the young woman is blown when they both discover that they are siblings, having the same mother. In the post credits scene, George is sitting at his desk in his office when his friend walks in, carrying a cage, and shows George his new pet duck, and states that he calls him Howard, then George gets another idea and begins writing. This is a reference to the 1986 Marvel Film: Howard the Duck, which Lucas produced.
