Letter to George Lucas

Dear George Lucas,


You have no idea how close I was to inventing Star Wars in 1975. You could easily be the one working in Accounts Payable.


I heard you’re running out of episodes. Don’t worry…I’m working on two new ones. I decided the heavy, action packed Star Wars theme has been overdone. It’s time to mix up the franchise with a screwball buddy comedy and a teen drama.


The buddy comedy will focus on the mid life crisis of Han Solo, who will get into some crazy situations thanks to the bad advice of his second cousin, Keith Solo. I’m picturing them in their mid thirties, with large guts and thinning hair. I know a couple of guys who were born to play these guys.


The teen drama will center on the sexual awakening of a young Luke Skywalker. It will be similar to American Pie, with young Luke spending much of the film fending off the unwanted advances of Yoda, Chewbaca and an extremely horny C3PO.


Thanks,

Matt on behalf of 2HW
