It is a period of great new ideas. George Lucas, writing from his desk at Lucasfilm, has created his first trilogy and the Star Wars Universe.
.
During his creation, Lucas has managed to produce his first movie, STAR WARS, a movie with enough power to spur an entire franchise of movies.
.
Hired by Twentieth Century, George Lucas races to finish his film, keeper of the universe that can influence the world and bring Star Wars to the mid century....
.
...and beyond.
