George Lucas Short Biography

George Lucas had once assembled the best team in the world to create the impossible, Star Wars.

He is a fanatical dreamer who walked his talk. He dreamed about fantasy wars, love stories, actions that happened in a galaxy far far away.

What differentiates George Lucas from all other dreamers is that he doesn’t just dream; he made his dream a reality. He practiced what he preached.

George Lucas gave everything he had to his dream despite the lack of resources to produce it.

It is easier to create Star Wars today due to all the advanced technology we have but back in the 1970s, it required unconventional thinkings, bold risks, and a lot of trials and errors to make it happen… with no guarantee of success.

A lot of people thought he was crazy to have invested so much time and money in the project and told him to give up on the ‘impossible.’

Thankfully, he is no ordinary dreamer.
