Among a small collection of old 'Disney News' magazines, I have an issue (Spring 1987) that has an article about the early George Lucas/Disney relationship, starting with their Star Tours collaboration. I thought it was worth preserving for posterity and sharing, given the way things have panned out over the last couple of years. Plus its got some really cool pics of GL clean-shaven.

The article proper, featuring George Lucas as Clark Kent.

"Overall, with the kind of films I was making, Disneyland seemed the perfect place to put my characters..."
