2.  He became interested in filmmaking while in high school. He was also a car-racing
fanatic as a teenager until a near-fatal crash at age 18 convinced him to give up the
sport.
 Lucas’s interest in moviemaking was encouraged by cinematographer Haskell
Wexler.
 In 1966 Lucas received a bachelor’s degree from the film department of the
University of Southern California in Los Angeles.
 In 1971 Lucas formed the production company Lucasfilm Ltd., which eventually
contained a number of divisions, including Industrial Light & Magic (ILM, established
1975), which was regarded as the most prestigious special-effects workshop in
American film.
 The success of American Graffiti enabled Lucas to finance a project that had been
dear to his heart for some time. This was star wars, which borrowed heavily from the
ideas of mythographer Joseph Campbell and from the story of Kurosawa’s Kakushi-
toride no san-akunin (1958; The Hidden Fortress), was immediately popular and
went on to become the top-grossing motion picture in history.
