George Lucas was awarded the James Smithson Medal at George Washington University in October, 1997...and I was there because my mom agreed to take her freshly Bar Mitzvahed son over 200 miles to see a man get an award on a school day.

I asked my mom to come on to share our memories of the event, why she decided to take me in the first place, and what George Lucas said that she never let me forget.

Guaranteed to be the only Star Wars podcast where the host's mom is the guest!
