George Walton Lucas Jr.[2] (born May 14, 1944) is an American
filmmaker and entrepreneur. Lucas is best known as the creator of the
Star Wars
Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises, as well as the founder of
Lucasfilm
Lucasfilm and Industrial Light & Magic. He was the chairman and
CEO of Lucasfilm, before selling it to
The Walt Disney Company
The Walt Disney Company in
2012.[3]
Upon graduating from the
University of Southern California
University of Southern California in 1967,
Lucas co-founded
American Zoetrope
American Zoetrope with fellow filmmaker Francis Ford
Coppola. Lucas wrote and directed
THX 1138
THX 1138 (1971), based on his
earlier student short Electronic Labyrinth:
THX 1138
THX 1138 4EB, which was a
critical success but a financial failure. His next work as a
writer-director was the film
American Graffiti
American Graffiti (1973), inspired by his
teen years in early 1960s Modesto, California, and produced through
the newly founded Lucasfilm. The film was critically and commercially
successful, and received five
Academy Award
Academy Award nominations including Best
Picture.
Lucas' next film, an epic space opera titled
Star Wars
Star Wars (1977), went
through a troubled production process; however, it was a surprise hit,
becoming the highest-grossing film at the time, as well as a winner of
six
Academy Awards
Academy Awards and a cultural phenomenon. Following the first Star
Wars film, Lucas produced and co-wrote the following installments in
the trilogy,
The Empire Strikes Back
The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi
(1983). Along with Steven Spielberg, Lucas co-created and helped
collaborate with the stories for the Indiana Jones films Raiders of
the Lost Ark (1981), Temple of Doom (1984), and The Last Crusade
(1989). Lucas also produced and wrote a variety of films through
Lucasfilm
Lucasfilm in the 1980s and 1990s.
In 1997, Lucas re-released the original
Star Wars
Star Wars trilogy as part of a
Special
Special Edition, where he made several alterations to the films; home
media releases with further changes were released in 2004 and 2011. He
also returned to directing with the
Star Wars
Star Wars prequel trilogy,
consisting of The Phantom Menace (1999), Attack of the Clones (2002),
and Revenge of the Sith (2005). He later collaborated on the story for
the Indiana Jones sequel Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008), and
served as executive producer for the war film
Red Tails
Red Tails (2012).
Lucas is one of the American film industry's most financially
successful filmmakers and has been personally nominated for four
Academy Awards. Some of his movies are among the 100 highest-grossing
movies at the North American box office, adjusted for ticket-price
inflation.[4] Lucas is considered a significant figure in the New
Hollywood era.

Early life
Lucas was born and raised in Modesto, California, the son of Dorothy
Ellinore Lucas (née Bomberger) and George Walton Lucas, Sr., who
owned a stationery store.[5][6] He is of German, Swiss-German,
English, Scottish, and distant Dutch and French descent. Growing up,
Lucas had a passion for cars and motor racing, which later inspired
his films 1:42.08 and American Graffiti. Long before Lucas became
obsessed with filmmaking, he yearned to be a race-car driver, and he
spent most of his high school years racing on the underground circuit
at fairgrounds and hanging out at garages. On June 12, 1962, at age
eighteen, while driving his souped-up Autobianchi Bianchina, another
driver broadsided him, flipping over his car, nearly killing him,
causing him to lose interest in racing as a career.[7][8] He attended
Modesto Junior College, where he studied anthropology, sociology, and
literature, amongst other subjects.[7] He also began shooting with an
8 mm camera, including filming car races.[7]
At this time, Lucas and his friend John Plummer became interested in
Canyon Cinema: screenings of underground, avant-garde 16 mm
filmmakers like Jordan Belson, Stan Brakhage, and Bruce Conner.[9]
Lucas and Plummer also saw classic European films of the time,
including Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless, François Truffaut's Jules et
Jim, and Federico Fellini's 8½.[9] "That's when George really started
exploring," Plummer said.[9] Through his interest in autocross racing,
Lucas met renowned cinematographer Haskell Wexler, another race
enthusiast.[7][9] Wexler, later to work with Lucas on several
occasions, was impressed by Lucas' talent.[7] "George had a very good
eye, and he thought visually," he recalled.[9]
Lucas then transferred to the
University of Southern California
University of Southern California (USC)
School of Cinematic Arts. USC was one of the earliest universities to
have a school devoted to motion picture film. During the years at USC,
Lucas shared a dorm room with Randal Kleiser. Along with classmates
such as Walter Murch, Hal Barwood, and John Milius, they became a
clique of film students known as The Dirty Dozen. He also became good
friends with fellow acclaimed student filmmaker and future Indiana
Jones collaborator, Steven Spielberg. Lucas was deeply influenced by
the Filmic Expression course taught at the school by filmmaker Lester
Novros which concentrated on the non-narrative elements of Film Form
like color, light, movement, space, and time. Another inspiration was
the Serbian montagist (and dean of the USC Film Department) Slavko
Vorkapić, a film theoretician who made stunning montage sequences for
Hollywood studio features at MGM, RKO, and Paramount. Vorkapich taught
the autonomous nature of the cinematic art form, emphasizing the
unique dynamic quality of movement and kinetic energy inherent in
motion pictures.
Film career
1965–69: Early career
Lucas saw many inspiring films in class, particularly the visual films
coming out of the
National Film Board of Canada
National Film Board of Canada like Arthur Lipsett's
21-87, the French-Canadian cameraman Jean-Claude Labrecque's cinéma
vérité 60 Cycles, the work of Norman McLaren, and the documentaries
of Claude Jutra. Lucas fell madly in love with pure cinema and quickly
became prolific at making 16 mm nonstory noncharacter visual tone
poems and cinéma vérité with such titles as Look at Life, Herbie,
1:42.08, The Emperor, Anyone Lived in a Pretty (how) Town, Filmmaker,
and 6-18-67. He was passionate and interested in camerawork and
editing, defining himself as a filmmaker as opposed to being a
director, and he loved making abstract visual films that created
emotions purely through cinema.[9]
After graduating with a bachelor of fine arts in film in 1967, he
tried joining the
United States Air Force
United States Air Force as an officer, but he was
immediately turned down because of his numerous speeding tickets. He
was later drafted by the Army for military service in Vietnam, but he
was exempted from service after medical tests showed he had diabetes,
the disease that killed his paternal grandfather.
In 1967, Lucas re-enrolled as a USC graduate student in film
production.[10] Working as a teaching instructor for a class of U.S.
Navy students who were being taught documentary cinematography, Lucas
directed the short film Electronic Labyrinth:
THX 1138
THX 1138 4EB, which won
first prize at the 1967–68 National Student film festival, and was
later adapted into his first full-length feature film,
THX
THX 1138. Lucas
was awarded a student scholarship by
Warner Bros.
Warner Bros. to observe and work
on the making of a film of his choosing. The film he chose was
Finian's Rainbow (1968) which was being directed by Francis Ford
Coppola, who was revered among film school students of the time as a
cinema graduate who had "made it" in Hollywood. In 1969, Lucas was one
of the camera operators on the classic Rolling Stones concert film
Gimme Shelter.
1969–77:
THX
THX 1138, American Graffiti, and Star Wars
In 1969, Lucas co-founded the studio
American Zoetrope
American Zoetrope with
Coppola—whom he met during his internship at Warner Bros.—hoping
to create a liberating environment for filmmakers to direct outside
the perceived oppressive control of the Hollywood studio system.[11]
His first full-length feature film produced by the studio,
THX
THX 1138,
was not a success. Lucas then created his own company, Lucasfilm,
Ltd., and directed the successful
American Graffiti
American Graffiti (1973).
Lucas then set his sights on adapting Flash Gordon, an adventure
serial from his childhood that he fondly remembered. When he was
unable to obtain the rights, he set out to write an original space
adventure that would eventually become Star Wars. Despite his success
with his previous film, all but one studio turned
Star Wars
Star Wars down. It
was only because Alan Ladd, Jr., at
20th Century Fox
20th Century Fox liked American
Graffiti that he forced through a production and distribution deal for
the film, which ended up restoring Fox to financial stability after a
number of flops.[12]
Star Wars
Star Wars was significantly influenced by samurai
films of Akira Kurosawa, spaghetti westerns, as well as classic swords
& sorcery fantasy stories.
Star Wars
Star Wars quickly became the highest-grossing film of all-time,
displaced five years later by Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
After the success of
American Graffiti
American Graffiti and prior to the beginning of
filming on Star Wars, Lucas was encouraged to renegotiate for a higher
fee for writing and directing
Star Wars
Star Wars than the $150,000 agreed.[7]
He declined to do so, instead negotiating for advantage in some of the
as-yet-unspecified parts of his contract with Fox, in particular
ownership of licensing and merchandising rights (for novelizations,
T-shirts, toys, etc.) and contractual arrangements for sequels.[7] The
studio was unconcerned to relinquish these rights, as its last major
attempt in the field, with the film Doctor Dolittle (1967), had proved
a discouraging failure.[13] Lucas exploited merchandising rights
wisely, and
Lucasfilm
Lucasfilm has earned hundreds of millions of dollars from
licensed games, toys, and collectibles created for the franchise.[7]

Following the release of the first
Star Wars
Star Wars film, Lucas worked
extensively as a writer and producer, including on the many Star Wars
spinoffs made for film, television, and other media. Lucas acted as
executive producer for the next two
Star Wars
Star Wars films, commissioning
Irvin Kershner

to direct Return of the Jedi, while receiving a story credit on the
former and sharing a screenwriting credit with
Lawrence Kasdan
Lawrence Kasdan on the
latter.[14] He also acted as executive producer and story writer on
all four of the Indiana Jones films, which his colleague and good
friend
Steven Spielberg
Steven Spielberg directed.
Other successful projects where Lucas acted as a producer or writer in
this period include Kurosawa's
Kagemusha
Kagemusha (1980), Lawrence Kasdan's
Body Heat
Body Heat (1981), Jim Henson's Labyrinth (1986), Godfrey Reggio's
Powaqqatsi
Powaqqatsi (1986), Don Bluth's
The Land Before Time
The Land Before Time (1988), and the
Indiana Jones television spinoff The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles
(1992–96). There were unsuccessful projects, however, including More
American Graffiti
American Graffiti (1979), Willard Huyck's Howard the Duck (1986),
which was the biggest flop of Lucas's career, Ron Howard's Willow
(1988), Coppola's Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988), and Mel
Smith's
Radioland Murders
Radioland Murders (1994).
The animation studio
Pixar
Pixar was founded in 1979 as the Graphics Group,
one third of the Computer Division of Lucasfilm.[15] Pixar's early
computer graphics research resulted in groundbreaking effects in films
such as Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan[16] and Young Sherlock
Holmes,[16] and the group was purchased in 1986 by
Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs shortly
after he left Apple Computer. Jobs paid Lucas US$5 million and put
US$5 million as capital into the company. The sale reflected Lucas'
desire to stop the cash flow losses from his 7-year research projects
associated with new entertainment technology tools, as well as his
company's new focus on creating entertainment products rather than
tools. A contributing factor was cash-flow difficulties following
Lucas' 1983 divorce concurrent with the sudden dropoff in revenues
from
Star Wars
Star Wars licenses following the release of Return of the Jedi.

Holman.[17] The company was formerly owned by Lucasfilm, and contains
equipment for stereo, digital, and theatrical sound for films, and
music.

After losing much of his fortune in a divorce settlement in 1987,
Lucas had no desire to return to Star Wars, and had unofficially
canceled his sequel trilogy by the time of Return of the Jedi.[18]
Nevertheless, the prequels, which were still only a series of basic
ideas partially pulled from his original drafts of "The Star Wars",
continued to tantalize him with technical possibilities that would
make it worthwhile to revisit his older material. When Star Wars
became popular once again, in the wake of Dark Horse's comic book line
and Timothy Zahn's trilogy of novels, Lucas realized that there was
still a large audience. His children were older, and with the
explosion of CGI technology he was now considering returning to
directing.[19]
By 1993, it was announced, in Variety among other sources, that Lucas
would be making the prequels. He began penning more to the story,
indicating that the series would be a tragic one, examining Anakin
Skywalker's fall to the dark side. Lucas also began to change the
prequels status relative to the originals; at first they were supposed
to be a "filling-in" of history tangential to the originals, but now
he saw that they could form the beginning of one long story that
started with Anakin's childhood and ended with his death. This was the
final step towards turning the film series into a "Saga".[20] In 1994,
Lucas began work on the screenplay of the first prequel, tentatively
titled Episode I: The Beginning.
In 1997, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Star Wars, Lucas
returned to the original trilogy and made numerous modifications using
newly available digital technology, releasing them in theaters as the
Star Wars
Star Wars
Special
Special Edition. For DVD releases in 2004 and Blu-ray
releases in 2011, the trilogy received further revisions to make them
congruent with the prequel trilogy. Besides the additions to the Star
Wars franchise, Lucas released a Director's Cut of
THX 1138
THX 1138 in 2004,
with the film re-cut and containing a number of CGI revisions.
The first
Star Wars
Star Wars prequel was finished and released in 1999 as
Episode I – The Phantom Menace, which would be the first film Lucas
had directed in over two decades. Following the release of the first
prequel, Lucas announced that he would also be directing the next two,
and began working on Episode II.[21] The first draft of Episode II was
completed just weeks before principal photography, and Lucas hired
Jonathan Hales, a writer from The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, to
polish it.[22] It was completed and released in 2002 as Star Wars:
Episode II – Attack of the Clones. The final prequel, Star Wars:
Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, began production in 2002[23] and
was released in 2005. Numerous fans and critics considered the
prequels inferior to the original trilogy,[24][25][26] though they
were box office successes nonetheless.[27][28][29] From 2003 to 2005,
Lucas also served as an executive producer on Star Wars: Clone Wars,
an animated microseries on
Cartoon Network
Cartoon Network created by Genndy
Tartakovsky, that bridged the events between Attack of the Clones and
Revenge of the Sith.
George Lucas
George Lucas in 2007
Lucas collaborated with
Jeff Nathanson as a writer of the 2008 film
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, directed by Steven
Spielberg. Like the
Star Wars
Star Wars prequels, reception was mixed, with
numerous fans and critics once again considering it inferior to its
predecessors. From 2008 to 2014, Lucas also served as the executive
producer for a second
Star Wars
Star Wars animated series on Cartoon Network,
Star Wars: The Clone Wars which premiered with a feature film of the
same name before airing its first episode. The supervising director
for this series was Dave Filoni, who was chosen by Lucas and closely
collaborated with him on its development.[30][31][32][33][34] Like the
previous series it bridged the events between Attack of the Clones and
Revenge of the Sith. The animated series also featured the last Star
Wars stories on which Lucas was majorly involved.
In 2012, Lucas served as executive producer for Red Tails, a war film
based on the exploits of the
Tuskegee Airmen
Tuskegee Airmen during World War II. He
also took over direction of reshoots while director Anthony Hemingway
worked on other projects.
2012–present: Semi-retirement
"I'm moving away from the business... From the company, from all this
kind of stuff."

George Lucas
George Lucas on his future career plans.[35]
In January 2012, Lucas announced his retirement from producing large
blockbuster films and instead re-focusing his career on smaller,
independently budgeted features.[35][36][37]
In June 2012, it was announced that producer Kathleen Kennedy, a
long-term collaborator with
Steven Spielberg
Steven Spielberg and a producer of the
Indiana Jones films, had been appointed as co-chair of Lucasfilm
Ltd.[38][39] It was reported that Kennedy would work alongside Lucas,
who would remain chief executive and serve as co-chairman for at least
one year, after which she would succeed him as the company's sole
leader.[38][39] With the sale of
Lucasfilm
Lucasfilm to Disney, Lucas is
currently Disney's second largest single shareholder after the estate
of Steve Jobs.[40]
Since 2014, Lucas is working as a creative consultant on the Star Wars
sequel trilogy, including work in the first movie,
Star Wars
Star Wars VII: The
Force Awakens. As creative consultant on the film, Lucas' involvement
included attending early story meetings; according to Lucas, "I mostly
say, 'You can't do this. You can do that.' You know, 'The cars don't
have wheels. They fly with antigravity.' There's a million little
pieces... I know all that stuff."[41] Lucas' son Jett told The
Guardian that his father was "very torn" about having sold the rights
to the franchise, despite having hand-picked Abrams to direct, and
that his father was "there to guide" but that "he wants to let it go
and become its new generation."[42] Among the materials turned over to
the production team were rough story treatments Lucas developed when
he considered creating episodes VII–IX himself years earlier; in
January 2015, Lucas stated that Disney had discarded his story
ideas.[43][44]
The Force Awakens directed by J. J. Abrams, was released on December
18, 2015. Kathleen Kennedy executive produced, and will do so for all
future
Star Wars
Star Wars films.[45][46] The new sequel trilogy is being
jointly produced by
Lucasfilm
Lucasfilm and The
Walt Disney
Walt Disney Company, which had
acquired
Lucasfilm
Lucasfilm in 2012.[47] During an interview with talk show
host and journalist
Charlie Rose
.jpg/440px-Charlie_Rose_2014_(cropped).jpg)
Charlie Rose that aired on December 24, 2015,
Lucas likened his decision to sell
Lucasfilm
Lucasfilm to Disney to a "divorce"
and outlined the creative differences between him and the producers of
The Force Awakens. Lucas described the previous six
Star Wars
Star Wars films as
his "children" and defended his vision for them, while criticizing The
Force Awakens for having a "retro feel", saying: “I worked very hard
to make them completely different, with different planets, with
different spaceships – you know, to make it new”. Lucas also drew
some criticism and subsequently apologized for his remark likening
Disney to "white slavers".[48][49] It has been reported Lucas liked
Rogue One: a
Star Wars
Star Wars Story more than The Force Awakens.[50] Rogue
One was directed by Gareth Edwards and told the story of the rebels
who stole the plans for the original Death Star.
In 2015, Lucas wrote the CGI film Strange Magic, his first musical.
The film was produced at Skywalker Ranch.
Gary Rydstrom directed the
movie.[51] At the same time the sequel trilogy was announced a fifth
installment of the Indiana Jones series also entered pre-development
phase with
Harrison Ford
Harrison Ford and
Steven Spielberg
Steven Spielberg set to return, for a
release in 2019 while originally Lucas did not specify whether the
selling of
Lucasfilm
Lucasfilm would affect his involvement with such film. In
October 2016, Lucas announced his decision to not be involved in the
story of the film, but would remain an executive producer.[52][53]
Philanthropy
Lucas has pledged to give half of his fortune to charity as part of an
effort called
The Giving Pledge
The Giving Pledge led by
Bill Gates
Bill Gates and Warren Buffett
to persuade America's richest individuals to donate their financial
wealth to charities.[54][55]
George Lucas
George Lucas Educational Foundation
In 1991, The
George Lucas
George Lucas Educational Foundation was founded as a
nonprofit operating foundation to celebrate and encourage innovation
in schools. The Foundation's content is available under the brand
Edutopia, in an award-winning web site, social media and via
documentary films. Lucas, through his foundation, was one of the
leading proponents of the
E-rate program in the universal service
fund,[56] which was enacted as part of the Telecommunications Act of
1996. On June 24, 2008, Lucas testified before the United States House
of Representatives subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet
as the head of his Foundation to advocate for a free wireless
broadband educational network.[57]
Proceeds from the sale of
Lucasfilm
Lucasfilm to Disney
In 2012, Lucas sold
Lucasfilm
Lucasfilm to
The Walt Disney Company
The Walt Disney Company for a
reported sum of $4.05 billion.[47] It was widely reported at the time
that Lucas intends to give the majority of the proceeds from the sale
to charity.[58][59] A spokesperson for
Lucasfilm
Lucasfilm said, "George Lucas
has expressed his intention, in the event the deal closes, to donate
the majority of the proceeds to his philanthropic endeavors."[59]
Lucas also spoke on the matter: "For 41 years, the majority of my time
and money has been put into the company. As I start a new chapter in
my life, it is gratifying that I have the opportunity to devote more
time and resources to philanthropy."[59]
Lucas Museum of Narrative Art
Main article: Lucas Museum of Narrative Art
By June 2013, Lucas was considering establishing a museum, the Lucas
Cultural Arts Museum, to be built on
Crissy Field
Crissy Field near the Golden Gate
Bridge in San Francisco, which would display his collection of
illustrations and pop art, with an estimated value of more than $1
billion. Lucas offered to pay the estimated $300 million cost of
constructing the museum, and would endow it with $400 million when it
opened, eventually adding an additional $400 million to its
endowment.[60] After being unable to reach an agreement with The
Presidio Trust, Lucas turned to Chicago.[61] A potential lakefront
site on
Museum Campus
Museum Campus in
Chicago
Chicago was proposed in May 2014.[62] By June
2014,
Chicago
Chicago had been selected, pending approval of the
Chicago
Chicago Plan
Commission,[63] which was granted.[64] The museum project was renamed
the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art.[65] On June 24, 2016, Lucas
announced that he was abandoning his plans to locate the museum in
Chicago, due to a lawsuit by a local preservation group, Friends of
the Parks, and would instead build the museum in California.[66] On
January 17, 2017, Lucas announced that the museum will be constructed
in Exposition Park,
Los Angeles
Los Angeles California.[67]
Other initiatives
In 2005, Lucas gave US$1 million to help build the Martin Luther King
Jr. Memorial on the
National Mall
National Mall in Washington D.C. to commemorate
American civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.[68]
On September 19, 2006, USC announced that Lucas had donated $175–180
million to his alma mater to expand the film school. It is the largest
single donation to USC and the largest gift to a film school
anywhere.[69] Previous donations led to the already existing George
Lucas Instructional Building and
Marcia Lucas Post-Production
building.[70][71]
In 2013, Lucas and his wife
Mellody Hobson
Mellody Hobson donated $25 million to the
Chicago-based not-for-profit After School Matters, of which Hobson is
the chair.[61]
On April 15, 2016, it was reported that Lucas had donated between
$501,000 and $1 million through the Lucas Family Foundation to the
Obama Foundation, which is charged with overseeing the construction of
the
Barack Obama Presidential Center
Barack Obama Presidential Center on Chicago's South Side.[72]
Personal life
Lucas at the Time 100 2006 gala
In 1969, Lucas married film editor Marcia Lou Griffin,[73] who went on
to win an
Academy Award
Academy Award for her editing work on the original Star Wars
film. They adopted a daughter, Amanda Lucas, in 1981,[74] and divorced
in 1983.[73] Lucas subsequently adopted two more children as a single
parent: daughter Katie Lucas, born in 1988, and son Jett Lucas, born
in 1993.[74] His three eldest children all appeared in the three Star
Wars prequels, as did Lucas himself. Following his divorce, Lucas was
in a relationship with singer
Linda Ronstadt
Linda Ronstadt in the 1980s.[75][76]
Lucas began dating Mellody Hobson, president of
Ariel Investments and
chair of DreamWorks Animation, in 2006.[77][78][79] Lucas and Hobson
announced their engagement in January 2013,[80] and married on June
22, 2013, at Lucas's
Skywalker Ranch
Skywalker Ranch in Marin County, California.[81]
They have one daughter together, Everest Hobson Lucas, who was born
via gestational carrier on August 12, 2013.[82]
Lucas was born and raised in a Methodist family.[7] The religious and
mythical themes in
Star Wars
Star Wars were inspired by Lucas's interest in the
writings of mythologist Joseph Campbell,[83] and he would eventually
come to identify strongly with the Eastern religious philosophies he
studied and incorporated into his films, which were a major
inspiration for "the Force". Lucas has come to state that his religion
is "Buddhist Methodist". He resides in Marin County.[84][85]
Lucas is a major collector of the American illustrator and painter
Norman Rockwell. A collection of 57 Rockwell paintings and drawings
owned by Lucas and fellow Rockwell collector and film director Steven
Spielberg were displayed at the
Smithsonian American Art Museum
Smithsonian American Art Museum from
July 2, 2010 to January 2, 2011 in an exhibition titled Telling
Stories.[86]
Lucas has said that he is a fan of Seth MacFarlane's hit TV show
Family Guy. MacFarlane has said that
Lucasfilm
Lucasfilm was extremely helpful
when the
Family Guy
Family Guy crew wanted to parody their works.[87]
Awards and honors
The
American Film Institute
_logo.svg/440px-American_Film_Institute_(AFI)_logo.svg.png)
American Film Institute awarded Lucas its Life Achievement Award
on June 9, 2005.[88] This was shortly after the release of Star Wars:
Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, about which he joked stating
that, since he views the entire
Star Wars
Star Wars series as one film, he could
actually receive the award now that he had finally "gone back and
finished the movie."
Lucas was nominated for four Academy Awards: Best Directing and
Writing for
American Graffiti
American Graffiti and Star Wars. He received the Academy's
Irving G. Thalberg Award in 1991. He appeared at the 79th Academy
Awards ceremony in 2007 with
Steven Spielberg
Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola
to present the Best Director award to their friend Martin Scorsese.
During the speech, Spielberg and Coppola talked about the joy of
winning an Oscar, making fun of Lucas, who has not won a competitive
Oscar.
The Science Fiction Hall of Fame inducted Lucas in 2006, its second
"Film, Television, and Media" contributor, after Spielberg.[89][90][a]
