The Unofficial, Unauthorized Story of How Star Wars Really Began - in Barstow, California, 1974. "Summer of '74" is a comedy for theater in three acts which can be performed by ensemble casts in theaters both amateur and professional around the world. A young boy in rural California dreams of getting out of his small town; his mother grows "herbs," but young "Lucas" is sure there is a higher calling for him. The most powerful man in town is Dr. Vader, head of the Barstow Republican Party, he's a gynecologist/proctologist who swings through key parties, and may or may not have a number of illegitimate children in town. (Young Luke may or may not be one of them.) He's a constant embarrassment to his own daughter, "Princess," who can't wait to kick Barstow to the curb and get on to Vassar or Wellesley. In the meantime, she's dating (screwing) "Hansel," a "plant" smuggler and junkyard mechanic who drives the "falcon" - a beat-up Chevy van. His co-pilot, "Chewey," is a native American - an Aztec - bearded, tall, mumbling, wearing aviator goggles, and always eating "plants." He's difficult to understand. How do their fates intertwine?
