George Lucas was born on May 14th, 1944. Of course, George went on to create one of the biggest franchises in geek history. Lots of geek news this last year as George Lucas sold Lucasfilm and Star Wars to Disney. Happy birthday to George.
Although May 4th is Star Wars day, I still have to say: May the fourteenth be with you!
