Born to Dorothy Lucas and George Lucas, Sr., George Lucas, Jr. was initially very interested in race car driving; however, this was quickly changed when he had a serious accident in high school.

Lucas started attending a junior college, then later transferred into the University of Southern California (USC) School of Cinematic Arts. As one of the first schools to offer instruction in motion picture filmmaking, USC attracted top film talents from across the country.

At an internship with Warner Brothers, George Lucas met Coppola and co-founded American Zoetrope, a studio. He then filmed Star Wars and waived his fees as Director in exchange for licensing rights. This smart decision made Lucas hundreds of millions later.
