So are there any connection to speak of between the works of the inimitable Edgar Allan Poe and the visionary George Lucus? Well, most people would probably say "No". But I think most people would be overlooking some things. Most people don't know that Poe is credited as one of the first science-fiction writers. I will supply more references later, but one such story was "The Balloon Hoax", in which Poe talks of taking a balloon into space. No, there was no death star in it, but still.
So, the first, albeit tenuous connection, is the simple fact that Poe, being one of the forebears of Sci-Fi, was also Lucas' predecessor at his craft.
Stay Tuned!
