Star Wars

See main article: Star Wars

Lucas created the Star Wars series, writing and directing the first movie and continuing to write and/or direct the subsequent five films. He remained heavily involved in many aspects of the series until the 2012 sale of Lucasfilm to Disney.

  • Email what i want — Strong Bad asks the sender, Talon Jendro, if George Lucas came up with his name.
  • Strong Badia the Free — Using the glowstick on the katana causes Strong Bad to say, "Glowing swords used to be cool, until someone ruined my childhood", referring to fan backlash against Lucas driven by the Star Wars Special Editions and prequel trilogy which some fans considered to have "ruined" their childhood fondness for the series.

Indiana Jones
