George Lucas |
|
GEORGE LUCAS (Writer/Director, Executive Producer) first attracted attention for his filmmaking abilities as a student at the University of Southern California, when his short film Electronic Labyrinth THX 1138 4EB, which he would later transform into his first feature, won the top award at the National Student Film Festival. His next feature, the low-budget American Graffiti (1973), became the most successful film of its time. But it was Lucas' third film, 1977's Star Wars, that changed everything and became an international phenomenon. Lucas created his own visual effects company, Industrial Light & Magic, to make his vision a reality.
Lucas has been storywriter and executive producer of box-office hits including The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and he created the adventurer Indiana Jones. Lucas returned to directing in 1999 with Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. Three years later, Episode II Attack of the Clones, was the first major live-action movie to be shot entirely digitally. Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, released this year, completes Lucas's Star Wars saga.
