Star Wars: A New Hope as Told Through Facebook

We’ve explored earth-shattering historical events and life-changing religions through the eyes of Facebook, but our true holy land lays within the vision of George Lucas. Dorkly takes a look at Episode IV in their Facebook storytelling rendition of Star Wars: A New Hope.

At the time, Lucas and crew thought it better that he keep standing, rather than kneel, assuming that the actual kneeling would cause more of a fallout.
