Lucas Chris Macfadden, better known as Cut Chemist the turntable guru of the high-profile hip hop crew Jurassic 5, had a feeling Star Wars would rule his childhood the minute he first laid eyes on the triangular silhouette of an Imperial cruiser.
"I saw A New Hope in 1977 at the Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood when I was four years old and remember watching the opening scene with the endless Star Destroyer moving across the screen," Macfadden recalls. "It was bigger than life. A New Hope was the perfect story and the direction was superb. A lot of the film was music and images, like a classical music video, with so much time going by without any dialogue. No other episode in the saga had this quality. Someone once told me that Sir Alec Guinness had 88 lines in the film which is the divine number in India. If that's true that must mean something, right?"
