Lucas, the responsible father, the reborn director, now seems eager to rediscover part of his youth: the avant-garde film geek. So maybe it's not important that the Sage of Skywalker Ranch doesn't spend much time in the sooty real world. He's very comfortable living where he does: in that shiny fantasy world--teeming, galactic, still not totally charted--known as George Lucas' mind...

It's fast and impressively stable (i.e., unlike Netscape 6, it doesn't crash every time you look at it funny), but what makes it truly superior is the clever, stress-saving bells and whistles that come from millions of geek hours of testing.

Though his lines blended perfectly into the songs, his tight shirt and muscles didn’t quite fit with the geek look of the band. Drummer Patrick Wilson started playing the wrong song once, but shrugged it off easily. Rhythm guitarist Brian Bell played a tremendous set, while Rivers Cuomo effortlessly sang his part. His brilliant lyrics touched the crowd by evoking the universal experience of being un-cool...
