I've got it. Lucas is trying to coin a new phrase with the Star Wars movie and
its hype. They're trying to introduce "wizard" as a term that we're all
supposed to use in conversation. For example, "did you try that new Greek
restaurant? Their baklava is just wizard!" Or, "have you seen the new
Corvettes? Man, those things are wizard-cool." Or I could be completely wrong.
Odds are in favor of it, in fact.
Do or do not, there is no wizard,
