He’s the recipient of an Honorary Palme D’or, the latest honour bestowed on a man who has quite literally changed the face of cinema. Here’s the full Masterclass panel of George Lucas as he delves into his legendary career.

The director of THX-1138, AMERICAN GRAFFITI and a tiny film called STAR WARS is in town to receive his Honorary Palme d’or, and he dropped by for a rambling talk with a 1000 of his not-closest friends to regale with tales from the most successful indie filmmaker in history.
