George Lucas spotted at USMNT World Cup opener where player nicknamed 'Jedi' helped deliver 4-1 win

That's right, George Lucas was in attendance for the match, which was fitting considering he helped inspire one of the USMNT's most recognizable nicknames.

Every nerd reading this just perked up a little...

Of course, "Jedi" comes from the world of "Star Wars." Lucas had a habit of taking words from other languages, and the name for his films' lightsaber-wielding heroes is believed to have come from the Japanese word jidaigeki, a term used for historical samurai.

Then, in a full-circle moment, there was George Lucas in the stands for Robinson and the USMNT's World Cup opener... and he was just annihilating some sandwich.

George Lucas is the man. He just is.

He's a billionaire creative genius who has worn the same flannels and Nike Air Monarchs for decades, and comes across as the same dude he has always been.

That's just the coolest thing ever.

What a guy.

We'll have to see if Lucas hits up any more matches, and if he does, I think someone has to find a way to get Jedi Robinson a photo with the guy who invented the term.
