... What George Lucas doesn't want you to know!

Contrary to popular belief, Lucas actually stole the story that Star Wars is based on from a wayward Rebel pilot whom crashed and landed on a Naval carrier in the midst of World War II. Lucas met the alien fighter pilot when he was training cameramen in the U.S. Military during 1966 at a secret lunch convention. Amazed by his tales of galactic combat and epic tale of the internal struggle between good and evil, Lucas forged the script that spawned the international pop-culture phenomenon, Star Wars.

The rebel pilot was executed shortly thereafter.

Meh. The story gave me nothing but I like the photo nevertheless.

 

[FortNinety]

Seriously, thank God for Nazi Germany. If not for them, the bad guys in every movie thereafter would have sucked ass.

The first shot is Mimas, a moon discovered by John Frederick William Herschel in 1789. Herschel was a German astronomer, therefore, the Nazis built the Death Star.
