Lucas was born in Modesto, California, in 1944. He developed an early interest in filmmaking, and he made his first film, THX 1138, in 1971. The film was a critical and commercial failure, but it caught the attention of Francis Ford Coppola, who produced Lucas' next film, American Graffiti.

Star Wars spawned a number of sequels, prequels, and spin-offs, and it has become one of the most popular film franchises in history.
In addition to Star Wars, Lucas is also known for creating the Indiana Jones franchise.
