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.
