1989-1999 without a doubt is the most under discussed era of George Lucas's life. It's also arguably the most important.

Through the upcoming documentary, George Lucas: The Lost Golden Age, they will interview many of the crew and creators who made this formative time the success that it was, leading to the Star Wars prequels and beyond. They join the podcast this week to give some insights into the documentary as well as to note how people can get involved via their Kickstarter.
