Although much of the stuff George Lucas started, like ILM and THX and Skywalker Sound, was either used on Star Wars or directly spun off from it. Not, like, completely unrelated like stuff Flayra would make. And before Star Wars, George lost thousands and thousands of dollars at American Zoetrope. And THX-1138 was a box office bust and too weird for most people. And he almost killed himself working on Star Wars and ended up with diabetes from getting no sleep and living off chocolate bars and soda.
So I think the parrallels end at "they work with aliens."

I think the information in the interview is trivial. However, I feel that the fact a major games magazine did an interview is of extreme significance in getting PR. This is probably one of the smartest moves by the dev team in terms of getting NS noticed.

It was a pretty good interview, although we did know most of it already.
