George Walton Lucas Jr. (born May 14, 1944) is an American filmmaker and entrepreneur. Lucas is known for creating the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises and founding Lucasfilm, LucasArts and Industrial Light & Magic. He served as chairman of Lucasfilm before selling it to The Walt Disney Company in 2012. After graduating from the University of Southern California in 1967, Lucas co-founded American Zoetrope with filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola. Lucas wrote and directed THX 1138 (1971), based on his earlier student short Electronic Labyrinth: THX 1138 4EB, which was a critical success but a financial failure. His next work as a writer-director was the film American Graffiti (1973), inspired by his youth in early 1960s Modesto, California, and produced through the newly founded Lucasfilm. The film was critically and commercially successful, and received five Academy Award nominations including Best Picture. Lucas's next film, the epic space opera Star Wars (1977), had a troubled production but was a surprise hit, becoming the highest-grossing film at the time, winning six Academy Awards and sparking a cultural phenomenon. Lucas produced and co-wrote the sequels The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983). With director Steven Spielberg, he created, produced and co-wrote the Indiana Jones films Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Temple of Doom (1984), The Last Crusade (1989) and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008). He also produced and wrote a variety of films and television series through Lucasfilm between the 1970s and the 2010s. In 1997, Lucas rereleased the Star Wars trilogy as part of a special edition featuring several alterations; home media versions with further changes were released in 2004 and 2011. He returned to directing with a Star Wars prequel trilogy comprising The Phantom Menace (1999), Attack of the Clones (2002), and Revenge of the Sith (2005). He last collaborated on the CGI-animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008–2014, 2020), the war film Red Tails (2012), and the CGI film Strange Magic (2015). Lucas is one of history's most financially successful filmmakers and has been nominated for four Academy Awards. His films are among the 100 highest-grossing movies at the North American box office, adjusted for ticket-price inflation. Lucas is considered a significant figure of the 20th-century New Hollywood movement.

Джордж Уолтън Лукас-младши е американски режисьор, сценарист и продуцент, роден на 14 май 1944 г. в Модесто, Калифорния. Той е създател на култовите поредици „Междузвездни войни“ (Star Wars) и „Индиана Джоунс“, с които променя завинаги лицето на съвременното кино. Като тинейджър Лукас мечтае да стане автомобилен състезател, но тежка катастрофа малко преди завършването на гимназията променя плановете му и го насочва към изкуството и киното. Образование и начало: Завършва филмовото училище на Университета на Южна Калифорния (USC), където създава иновативния късометражен филм „THX 1138 4EB“. Там се запознава с бъдещи величия като Стивън Спилбърг и Франсис Форд Копола, с когото основават студиото American Zoetrope. Първи успехи: След дебюта си с пълнометражната версия на „THX 1138“ (1971), той постига голям успех с „Американски графити“ (1973), който му носи първите номинации за „Оскар“. През 1977 г. излиза оригиналният филм „Междузвездни войни“, който се превръща в глобален феномен и поставя началото на една от най-печелившите поредици в историята. Лукас основава компанията Lucasfilm Ltd., както и подразделенията за специални ефекти Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) и за звук Skywalker Sound. Той е и основател на студиото Pixar, което по-късно продава на Стив Джобс. През 2012 г. Лукас продава своята компания Lucasfilm на Walt Disney Company за сумата от 4 милиарда долара, оттегляйки се от активното управление на франчайзите си, за да се посвети на филантропия.

George Walton Lucas Jr. (geboren am 14. Mai 1944) ist ein amerikanischer Filmemacher und Unternehmer. Lucas ist bekannt für die Entwicklung der Star-Wars- und Indiana-Jones-Reihen und die Gründung von Lucasfilm, LucasArts und Industrial Light & Magic. Er war Vorsitzender von Lucasfilm, bevor er das Unternehmen 2012 an The Walt Disney Company verkaufte. Nach seinem Abschluss an der University of Southern California im Jahr 1967 gründete Lucas zusammen mit dem Filmemacher Francis Ford Coppola American Zoetrope. Lucas schrieb und führte Regie bei THX 1138 (1971), der auf seinem früheren Studenten-Kurzfilm Electronic Labyrinth basiert: THX 1138 4EB, der bei den Kritikern erfolgreich war, aber ein finanzieller Misserfolg wurde. Seine nächste Arbeit als Drehbuchautor und Regisseur war der Film American Graffiti (1973), der von seiner Jugend in Modesto, Kalifornien, Anfang der 1960er Jahre inspiriert war und von der neu gegründeten Lucasfilm produziert wurde. Der Film war sowohl in der Kritik als auch kommerziell erfolgreich und erhielt fünf Oscar-Nominierungen, darunter für den besten Film. Lucas' nächster Film, die epische Weltraumoper Star Wars (1977), hatte eine schwierige Produktion, war aber ein Überraschungshit, der zum umsatzstärksten Film der damaligen Zeit wurde, sechs Oscars gewann und ein kulturelles Phänomen auslöste. Lucas war Produzent und Co-Autor der Fortsetzungen Das Imperium schlägt zurück (1980) und Die Rückkehr der Jedi (1983). Zusammen mit Regisseur Steven Spielberg entwickelte, produzierte und schrieb er die Indiana-Jones-Filme Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Temple of Doom (1984), The Last Crusade (1989) und Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008). 1997 brachte Lucas die Star-Wars-Trilogie als Teil einer Sonderausgabe mit mehreren Änderungen neu heraus; 2004 und 2011 wurden Home-Media-Versionen mit weiteren Änderungen veröffentlicht. Mit der Star-Wars-Prequel-Trilogie The Phantom Menace (1999), Attack of the Clones (2002) und Revenge of the Sith (2005) kehrte er zur Regie zurück. Zuletzt arbeitete er an der CGI-animierten Fernsehserie Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008-2014, 2020), dem Kriegsfilm Red Tails (2012) und dem CGI-Film Strange Magic (2015) mit. Lucas ist einer der finanziell erfolgreichsten Filmemacher der Geschichte und wurde für vier Academy Awards nominiert. Seine Filme gehören zu den 100 umsatzstärksten Filmen an den nordamerikanischen Kinokassen, bereinigt um die Inflation der Eintrittspreise.

Fue criado en un rancho de Modesto, California, lugar de cultivo de nueces. Su padre era dueño de una tienda de venta de escritorios y tenía tres hermanos.​ Durante su adolescencia estudió en la Downey High School y era un fanático de las carreras de automóviles, incluso tenía planeado convertirse en un piloto de carreras profesional. Sin embargo sufrió un terrible accidente con su coche poco tiempo después de graduarse en la secundaria, estuvo hospitalizado por varias semanas y estuvo a punto de morir. Este accidente cambió definitivamente su manera de ver la vida. Decidió ir a la preparatoria Modesto Junior College, donde tomó materias como antropología, sociología y literatura, entre muchas otras. También empezó a filmar con una cámara de 8mm. Durante esta época, Lucas y su amigo John Plummer comenzaron a interesarse en el cine Canyon Cinema: proyecciones de cineastas asociados al underground y al avant-garde, como Jordan Belson, Stan Brakhage y Bruce Conner. Lucas y Plummer también comenzaron a ver películas clásicas del cine europeo, como À bout de souffle, de Jean-Luc Godard, Jules y Jim de François Truffaut y 8½ de Federico Fellini. “Ahí fue cuando George comenzó realmente a explorar”, ha dicho Plummer. Gracias a su interés en las carreras automovilísticas Lucas conoció al renombrado cinematógrafo Haskell Wexler quien también compartía su gusto por las carreras. Wexler, quien después trabajaría con Lucas en varias ocasiones, se impresionó por el talento del muchacho: «George tenía muy buen ojo y pensaba de una manera muy visual». Lucas se mudó a la Universidad del Sur de California (USC), donde estudió en la Escuela de Artes Cinematográficas. USC fue una de las primeras universidades en Estados Unidos en contar con una escuela dedicada a la educación del cine. Durante sus años en USC, Lucas compartió el cuarto de los dormitorios universitarios con Randall Kleiser. En el campus también forjó amistad con compañeros como Walter Murch, Hal Barwood y John Milius, entre otros. Este grupo de amigos fue conocido en el campus como The Dirty Dozen (una referencia a la cinta del mismo nombre, estrenada en 1967 y dirigida por Robert Aldrich); los doce alcanzarían cierto éxito en la industria cinematográfica de Hollywood. Lucas también se hizo muy buen amigo de un alumno destacado del campus, con quien colaboraría después en Indiana Jones: Steven Spielberg. Lucas se vio fuertemente influenciado por el curso de Expresión Fílmica impartido por el cineasta Lester Novros y agrupaba los elementos no narrativos de la forma fílmica como el color, la luz, el movimiento, el espacio el tiempo. Otra inspiración fue el realizador serbio (y decano del Departamento de Cine de la USC) Slavko Vorkapich, un teórico del cine que realizó grandes secuencias de montajes para estudios de Hollywood como MGM, RKO y Paramount. Vorkapich enseñó la naturales autónoma de la forma cinemática, y enfatizaba la cualidad dinámica única del movimiento y la energía cinética inherente en las películas.
