Right now, fans of sci-fi/fantasy films are going ga-ga over “Dune: Part 2” (which certainly is gorgeous).
But I’m here to sing the praises of another space opera.
A young George Lucas talks with Anthony Daniels, who plays the robot C-3PO, for the film “Star Wars: A New Hope,” in 1977.
I was a bit late jumping on the Star Wars bandwagon.
