Summary
"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..." is one line most movie fans are familiar with, thanks to the seemingly limitless imagination of George Lucas. The man who created the perennially popular Star Wars movies discovered his love of filmmaking by accidentally signing up for a cinematography course in college. Since then, his imagination has brought to life the characters in the Star Wars universe, the adventures of the intrepid Indiana Jones, and countless other galaxies, beings, and wonders.

His vision and independence have earned him praise from colleagues, critics, and audiences alike. Read more about one of the legendary filmmakers of our time in George Lucas.
