Examples

“1999, May 18. "'Inside Story' takes scathing look at kiddie-pageant world', South Coast Today. This parody features his patented use of human thumbs with special-effects faces as such Lucasesque characters as Loke Groundrunner, Princess Bunhead, Hand Duet, Churchaka and Gabba the Butt.”

“2005, May 1. Henry Fountain, "Episode VII: Revenge of the Writers", The New York Times. And a lot of that comes from the very simplistic, 2-D Lucasesque view of what science fiction has to offer.”

“Created by Glen A. Larson, the show initially drew strong ratings for its Lucas-esque space battles between the daredevil heroes of Galactica (including Han Solo clone Starbuck, played by Dirk Benedict) and the gleaming metallic Cylons that sought their destruction.”
