Dive into Star Wars’ universe and its creator, George Lucas, from a perspective you’ve never experienced before by attending the talk A Look At Life: Poetics of George Lucas on January 28 2026 at 6 pm – Online.
This talk is elaborated and animated by Aleksandar Joksimović, Associate Professor of Integrated Propulsion System Design at ISAE-SUPAERO. As a science-fiction enthusiast, Aleksandar Joksimović invites us to reflect on how the imaginary worlds echo our own in his upcoming talk:
If there is a story that established space as an arena for modern popular imagination, it is George Lucas’s « Star Wars » saga. On the stellar canvas, Lucas painted a meticulously crafted story to convey a vital message for the unprecedentedly complex global humanity – one of reconciliation of the individuals’ urge for self-realisation and the collective need for belonging and solidarity.
In this talk we will explore both the form and the content of Lucas’s modern myth to reveal how a deeply ecological philosophy can inform the creative process just as much as the creation itself.
