george lucas originally set to do the original star wars trilogy and. he talks about this a lot as a critique of the nixon administration and america in, the post-watergate world. when the prequels 1999 to 2005 were coming out. he was banging the drum really hard about the war on terror and obviously the war on terror starts after the first prequel movie begins 1999. episode one the phantom menace. but it just lined up perfectly. he was warning us about a society where we give in to fear and a state a government that promises to keep us safe at all costs, no matter what. and then we're attacked on 911 and we embark on this war on terror. and george lucas was looking at his movies and talking to people and going, this is what i was trying to warn you about. the movies are also a combination. the jedi religion of taking the best of eastern and western philosophies, particularly the stoic face, the stoic, the stoic philosophy, the christian and then also the dow from the east and looking to eastern philosophers for guides on how to live and the jedi are a

why did you not go the route of becoming the next george lucas or steven spielberg, make an enormous amount of money, and then after you made a lot of money, you can go back to doing what you were doing before? ken: well, i don't know. it wasn't for me. i really like the idea of public broadcasting, pbs. it's public, but it's also that "s" is not system. it's service. i like that idea. i also think pbs has one foot tentatively in the marketplace and the other proudly out of it. lots of what's best about this country is not necessarily in the marketplace, which is of course one of the best things in this country as well. and so it's not making the other wrong. it's just saying that if i'd gone to a premium channel or gone to a streaming service, it might have been easier to get the money, but then they would own it. i own my films. they would also not permit me 10 1/2 years to do the "vietnam." they'd want it in a couple of years, and the kind of corners that would be cut in that process was nothing that i wanted to do. i also was aware that even with the success of "the civil war" se

lucas himself came out of that. we wouldn't have star wars without godard. even though he would sort of box there at the thought of it. that whole raft they are of blockbusters, jaws owes everything to godard. and then who later appeared in those films. they didn't need to break out of hollywood. they took hollywood and made it international. made them and made it international. made them a little bit better, made them artistic. so i think mike is a's influence will carry on. he was 91 years old, even until recently, he was pushing forward and video installations. the last time i saw him was at a press conference that he did for iphone. he didn't turn up at the festival, but he did it virtually before the world went virtually before the world went virtual during the year of covid. he predicted that. he was an extraordinary artist, not the easiest person to get on with, most people talk about him in france talk about the arguments they had from him. he really did anger a lot of people. a beginning to deal with issues

you've also married a very, very wealthy, famous person named george lucas, the creator of star wars, among other things. so why do you need to be the co-ceo of ariel? why don't you just do nonprofit boards, corporate boards, and other things? why do you still want to do this? anyone who knows me knows that that question doesn't make sense for me because my heart, my love is ariel. ariel is my first child. it was the thing that i did that i thought about every morning when i woke up and every night when i went to bed and all day long, and it really became a labor of love for me. john joked that he started it and that there became a point that he thought maybe i loved it more. i don't think that's true. we don't compete for the love of ariel, but i do think it became a part of my dna. and so leaving it is not something i would ever consider. i've always wanted to be there. so let's talk about some of the nonprofit things you're doing. one of them i would just want to talk about, one that you're doing, talk about first, you're doing with your husband, you're building a museum in los ang
