How did acid influence George Lucas?

The influence of acid, presumably referring to LSD, on George Lucas is humorously discussed by the hosts of the Mind Pump Podcast. They jest that George Lucas might have said "one hit of acid got me to invent Star Wars," playing on the idea that a little bit of acid contributes to creativity, but too much can lead to absurdities. They continue to discuss his use of pioneering technologies like CGI in his movies, implying that his creative vision might have been fueled by his experiences with acid, though this discussion is clearly speculative and light-hearted rather than a factual statement on Lucas's creative processes 1 .
