Lucas continued to discuss the merger between technology and storytelling in a wide-ranging interview the next day with Walt and me. “Painting, music, any kind of art form is essentially technological.

Sound was abused, color was abused, everything gets abused. But that’s just the nature of human nature: When you get a new toy, you want to use it until it breaks, and then you start to calm down.”
