He turned it downIn this episode, Sara digs into the timeline—from Lucas racing cars in Modesto to building the mythos of Star Wars out of Burroughs, Kurosawa, Kirby, and yes, Frazetta. Sara discusses  the posters that did get made, which ones might have been offered to Frank, and what we know (and don’t know) about the job he turned down.And we’ll get into the fan theories—was Death Dealer an early Vader? Did Egyptian Queen influence Leia’s costume in Return of the Jedi?  Hit play.
