A Few words about George Lucas

Before you start talking about how it was shot “Star wars”, you should pay a little attention to the Director's personality.

It is now George Lucas is one of the most wealthy representatives of their profession with a capital of $ 5 million, and at the time when he came up with the idea of the project, he was not yet 30 years old, and he had scored only two feature films. In fairness I must say that he's already filmed a movie in the genre of science fiction, but it was not a resounding success. The plot of this film, known as "THX 1138" is a story about a future world where mankind is forced to live under the earth, ruled by computers. The film is certainly inferior in entertainment “Star wars”, but his characters are still fighting for their right to be human and to make all the decisions.
