The Religious Affiliation of Director George Lucas
https://web.archive.org/web/20050612235541/http://www.adherents.com/people/pl/George_Lucas.html
But hey, there is an LDS connection to George Lucas! From the article:
“Lucas eventually came to state that his religion was "Buddhist Methodist." Gary Kurtz, a Latter-day Saint who had studied Comparative Religion extensively in college and on his own, was pivotal in introducing Lucas to Eastern religions (particularly Buddhism) and Native American religion, and discussing with Lucas how best to improve "Star Wars" by giving it a believable but sufficiently universal religious underpinning. Kurtz was the producer of "Star Wars" and "The Empire Strikes Back" and also did some work on the "Star Wars" screenplay.”
