On Nov. 14 2019, at the Hammer Theatre in San Jose, filmmaking icon George Lucas sat down for an engrossing chat with Dr. Deborah A. Thomas, the Director of the Center for Experimental Ethnography and Professor of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania. 

​Over the 1.5 hour long conversation, Deb engaged with 
GeorgeLucas’s early film and writing projects through the lens of experimental ethnography, learning about Lucas’ prevailing interests in mythology and anthropologies of religion. George Lucas shared fresh context behind the writing of American film classics including American Graffitti, Star Wars, and Indiana Jones, as well shedding light on the futures of his new education-centric projects including The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art and The George Lucas Educational Foundation. Though recording and professional photography were not permitted, we do have a few phone snapshots (and professional photos, taken by AAA staff, are forthcoming).
