George Lucas' Star Wars Influence Hits a Home Run at the US World Cup

Host Aisha Hasnie and Fox News contributor Joe Concha explored the unique cultural experiences of foreign fans attending the FIFA World Cup in the US. They showcased viral social media posts of fans discovering American staples like Waffle House and Big Gulps, as well as a heartwarming video of Scottish fans serenading a New England neighborhood with bagpipes.

The USMNT's World Cup opener was a hot topic, and even more buzz was generated after their impressive 4-1 win over Paraguay. The Los Angeles match had its fair share of celebrities in attendance.

Legendary director George Lucas was at the match, fittingly, given his influence on the term inspired by a USMNT player's nickname.

One of the top players on the U.S. squad is 28-year-old Antonee Robinson, now widely known as "Jedi."

As a kid, Robinson was a huge "Star Wars" fan, and the nickname "Jedi" eventually stuck.

In a full-circle moment, George Lucas watched Robinson and the USMNT's World Cup opener from the stands.

George Lucas is indeed an intriguing figure: a billionaire creative genius who has worn the same flannels and Nike Air Monarchs for decades.

Perhaps, in the future, Lucas will attend another match, and someone will have to find a way to get Jedi Robinson a photo with the man who brought the term into existence.
