In high school, he dreamed of being a race car driver. But two days before his graduation, he wrecked his car and almost killed himself. When he woke up in the hospital, he decided to do something else with his life. He decided he wanted to make movies. From American Graffiti to Captain EO, Lucas has broken new ground. Special effects we now take for granted were invented for the Star Wars movies, the first truly popular science fiction movies. The Indiana Jones stories returned movies to the days of cliff-hanging serials, but with the added zap of great special effects. These stories, and these movies came out of George Lucas' imagination. This book captures the man whose imagination has changed the direction of movie-making. | ||
