description

Five years into performing as renowned filmmaker George Lucas in his NY cult comedy talk show, comedian Connor Ratliff questions the need for its continuation and his drive for success.

Co-hosted by actor Griffin Newman and featuring A-list guests, "The George Lucas Talk Show", allows Connor to both exalt and poke fun at the vast world of Lucas, including STAR WARS. However, Connor begins to question if the show should continue due to its ongoing stress with little financial and career gain. By following the live performances and behind the scenes for one year, the mysteries of Connor's inner self are explored in this portrait of an artist.
