George Walton Lucas, Jr. (born May 14, 1944) is an American film producer, screenwriter, director, and entrepreneur. He is the founder, chairman and chief executive of Lucasfilm. He is best known as the creator of the space opera franchise Star Wars and the archaeologist-adventurer character Indiana Jones. Lucas is one of the American film industry's most financially successful directors/producers, with an estimated net worth of $3.2 billion as of 2011.
George Lucas was born in Modesto, California, the son of Dorothy Ellinore (née Bomberger) and George Walton Lucas, Sr. (1913–1991), who owned a stationery store.
Lucas grew up in the Central Valley town of Modesto and his early passion for cars and motor racing would eventually serve as inspiration for his USC student film 1:42.08, as well as his Oscar-nominated low-budget phenomenon, American Graffiti. Long before Lucas became obsessed with film making, he wanted to be a race-car driver, and he spent most of his high school years racing on the underground circuit at fairgrounds and hanging out at garages. However, a near-fatal accident in his souped-up Autobianchi Bianchina on June 12, 1962, just days before his high school graduation, quickly changed his mind. Instead of racing, he attended Modesto Junior College and later got accepted into a junior college to study anthropology. While taking liberal arts courses, he developed a passion for cinematography and camera tricks. George Lucas graduated from USC in California.

Plot
'American Odyssey' is an experimental fantasy following George Lucas as he rediscovers his imagination. George's friends Steven and Francis take him on a psychedelic journey through classic American adventure stories, where he finds the courage to save his muse, Marcia, relearning to tell stories by becoming the hero himself.
Plot
Maltazard, the Evil M, is now 7 feet tall and evolving among the humans, causing terror wherever he goes. His goal is simple: forming an army of giant henchmen and ruling over the universe. Meanwhile, Arthur is still a Minimoy, and thus in a state where he's unable to fend him off. With the help of Selenia and Betameche, he hatches a plan to regain his usual size: all they must do is infiltrate Arthur's house through the pipeworks, catch an electric train from his bedroom to his grandfather's study and find an elixir that will make him grow back to his human size. Sounds simple enough, if it weren't for Darkos, Maltazard's own son, hot on their tails.

Every saga has a beginning. Every fan saw the movie. Not everyone has to accept it.
Letter to Lucas: My children have been entertained by your movies for years. Had it not been for your work, I'm sure that my husband and I would never have had sex again.
Vito: We're making magic, baby!
Vito: That's another thing. Anakin. He's too moody! He's a downer.::George: He's a *slave*!
I turn to you you turn away saying we've lost that love thing
You say the flame I had for you is gone from my eyes
Say what you want say what you will words don't prove nothing
But baby kisses don't lie
Every time your lips touch mine it's crazy
Can't you feel my heartbeat come alive
Sometimes words won't do so if you want the truth
Baby kisses don't lie oh baby kisses don't lie
[ guitar ]
When we're side by side when we're face to face wach kiss will prove it
When I'm holding you and you're holding me yYou'll know that it's right
If my lips grew cold if my lips grew weak you'd see right through it
Cause baby kisses don't lie
Every time your lips touch mine...
When it ain't in the cards when it's over from the start
When gold turns to rust it ain't me you love
When it's time for curtain call when the writing's on the wall
When talk turns to touch it ain't me you love it ain't me you love
It ain't me you long to hold tight it ain't me come on look me in the eye
You play the part so well but it ain't tough to tell what's plain to see it ain't me
When the lay is on the line and it's life Number 9
When your mind's all made up it ain't me you love
When the dust finally clears you're just the smoke on mirrors
And that don't leave much it ain't me you love it ain't me you love
It ain't me you long to hold tight...
[ guitar ]
It ain't me you long to hold tight...
I throw a penny in the river each mornin'
At twilight I go outside and find the first star
I'm down on my knees most every evenin'
Praying I'll find a way back into your heart
I'm waiting and wishing for one chance to hold you the same way I used to
I'm waiting and wishing for one night of moonlight
To bring back the love we once knew
But waiting and wishing is just crazy thinking when I'm waiting and wishing for you
[ piano - steel ]
I'm just a shadow of what I was with you
And I've come to know a shadow ain't much
It's just an image of darkness the sunlight can't get to
That fades in the nighttime when it ain't bright enough
I'm waiting and wishing...
Tricky moon you haunt my heart I dream of her and there you are
Half love half lies I was her fool under the spell of a tricky moon
One night or one kiss I held her close it felt so right how could I know
Come morning light she'd be so cruel
She just slipped out of my sight did she learn her tricks from you
Tricky moon you haunt my heart...
[ guitar ]
I'd give my all to be with her I gave my heart she gave her word
But tonight I face the cold hard facts
That I never will erase cause you keep coming back
Tricky moon you haunt my heart...
Teardrops on my window just like raindrops fallin' down from my eyes
Teardrops on my pillow they're everywhere I go since you said goodbye
Everyday I make my way across this lonely room
I pull back the shades and all I see are blue skies
Without you here it's stormy weather and even the sun can make me cry
Teardrops on my window...
[ steel - guitar ]
Every night I try to fight back your mem'ry try as I might everytime I lose
When I lay down well that's when heartaches come around I realize it's just no use
Teardrops on my window...
Girl every time I look into your eyes
I feel like falling just look my way again
From where you stand I can almost take your hand
And pull you close to me what would you say if we shared
One more slow glance and an even slower dance
Stay the night stay the night
It's too late to walk away and too soon to say goodbye
We've already fallen way too far to fight stay the night stay the night
[ guitar ]
I know your kiss would just like honey drip into my heart
One taste would take my strength away
I can feel the moon pulling me to you
Stay the night...
We've already fallen way too far to fight stay the night stay the night
Stay the night stay the night
Cruel cruel you but shame one me
Cause only a fool like me twice believes
Cruel cruel you but shame on me
I trusted you you let me down I turn right back you can't be found
You're in his arms now I'm your clown again
Cruel cruel you...
[ guitar ]
Fooled me once you fooled me twice you rolled me honey like tumblin' dice
I found out you ain't so nice at all
Cruel cruel you...
My world stopped turning when you walked away
My heart's still breaking both night and day
The sun has stopped shining seasons don't change
And my world stopped turning when you walked away
I never knew how I needed you I couldn't see what you meant to me
But now that you're gone there's no way to carry on
My world stopped turning...
[ guitar - fiddle ]
The sun has stopped shining...
Got my hands on the wheel all night I've been rolling
Since you've run to him I don't care where I'm going
Cause any road I take won't make my heartache disappear
And every road winds up a long trail of tears
It's a one way lonely highway tears fall like rain
Cause all I see is your mem'ry with each step I take
If you ever have a change of heart you'll find me waiting here
Baby just follow the long trail of tears
[ guitar ]
I stood by watching while our bridges crumbled
And I drove you away to the arms of another
I could drive for miles and miles if I could hold you near
But I'm bound to travel a long trail of tears
It's a one way lonely highway...
You told me, I was all you'd ever need
You said, my love, would always be enough
Scarlet kisses on my skin, fooled me till the end
Every single word you said, every drop dead shade of red
were just lipstick promises
Was I easy to deceive, you were so easy to believe
I fell for your every kiss, and your lipstick promises.
Since you've gone, I see where I went wrong
All your lies, somehow left me blind
What you said would last so long, was only painted on.
Every single word you said, every drop dead shade of red
Were just lipstick promises
Was I easy to deceive, you were so easy to believe
I fell for your every kiss, and your lipstick promises
Was I easy to deceive, you were so easy to believe
I fell for your every kiss, and your lipstick promises
Every single word you said, every drop dead shade of red
I'm pretending that you still love me I'm pretending what never will be
You don't want me but I can't tell cause I'm pretending like I do so well
I should forget you I should be tough
I should move on now find myself a new love
I can't face it yet I'm not strong enough
So I'm pretending...
[ steel - fiddle ]
Our friends feel sorry cause I'm alone all the time
There's no need to worry you're right here in my mind
Cause when I'm pretending I feel just fine
I'm pretending...
I lost another one and only but I'll move on and do my best
You'll find me where it's sad and lonely in case you need my new address
I'll be here at 13-13 Heartbreak Avenue
Hello cruel world I'm movin' in hello cruel world my new best friend
Where love is tough and times're hard hello cruel world goodbye sweetheart
I'll be real lucky if I make it your mem'ry still tears me apart
The only way I can escape it is down the trail of broken hearts
It's a lonesome stretch of highway a long long way from home
Hello cruel world...
[ guitar - fiddle ]
Hello cruel world...
I've tried moonlight and roses whispers and wine
To show you how I feel but I fall short each time
I guess there's only one way to say what I mean
You're only my everything
You're the one I think about everything I can't do without
Day and night every dream I dream of you
In my arms there can be no doubt my words are true
Can't you see what you mean to me you're only my everything
[ guitar ]
My heart slipped off my sleeve right into your hands
And I've shown I love you the best that I can
So I'll take my chances and what fate may bring
Cause you're only my everything
You're the one I think about...
You could've taken me and all the love I had
You could've shaken me and never once looked back
You could've made my world just crumble and fall
Instead you stood by me through it all and I'm so glad
You could've fooled me but you didn't
You could've stole my heart and just walked away
You could've fooled me but you wouldn't
That's just not the kind of game you play
You told me you'd love me a long time ago
And you're still here to show me it's so
And we both know you could've fooled me
What did I ever do to deserve someone like you
If I ever lost your love I'd have nothing left to lose
You could've lied to me I was young and naive
I loved you so much I would have never believed you'd be untrue
You could've fooled me...
The thunder has roared the lightning has cracked
You could have sworn that you'd love me forever
And suddendly just disappear in a flash
You could've fooled me but you didn't
You could've stole my heart and just walked away
You could've fooled me fooled me but you couldn't
That's just not the kind of game you play
You could've fooled me you could've fooled me
I might as well just talk to the walls
Cause lately you act like I ain't here at all
You look right through me and I don't understand
I might as well be the invisible man
I wisper your name you pretend not to hear
The look in your eyes says I've dissapeared
You don't move a finger when I reach for your hand
When did I become the invisible man
I'm real flesh and bones these are real tears that fall
It's a real heart you're breaking can't you see that at all
You don't have to tell me I see right where I stand
In your eyes I'm only the invisible man
[ guitar - piano ]
I feel like a shadow of the man I once was
A vanishing picture of a once perfect love
It's crystal clear I see just who I am
I'll never be more than your invisible man
I'm real flesh and bones...
In no time at all I'll be over you come any day now I'll be good as new
In no time at all your memory will fade the final tear will fall in no time at all
I'm sure glad when midnight rolls around
Cause that's one less day you've got to get me down
And I know this won't last I'll leave behind the past
Like a clock up on the wall
In no time at all...
[ fiddle ]
One by one the minutes tick away next thing I know hours turn to days
But that don't bother me cause you're about to be
Just a name I can't recall
In no time at all...
I could say I've never been better I hardly miss you since you've gone
And losing you was for the best and life goes on
I wake up just fine each morning the same way I always have
I don't toss and turn at night and my heart don't hurt that bad
But I'd be lying I'd be lying I'd be lying
[ guitar ]
I could cross my heart and tell you this house still feels like home
And I'm enjoying all this time on my hands now I'm alone
And there's no regrets that haunt me blowing on the midnight wind
And I never wish I could hold you here in my arms again
But I'd be lying I'd be lying I'd be lying
I could look you in the eyes and swear that it's all true
That it's only a matter of time till I stop loving you
But I'd be lying I'd be lying I'd be lying
But I'd be lying I'd be lying I'd be lying
She comes strolling down the street every time she passes by
My head spins when our eyes meet every time she passes by
Her perfume fills my head every time she passes by
I hang on every word she says every time she passes by
This ain't infatuation mere idle fascination
My love gets stronger every time every time she passes by
[ guitar ]
I get tongue-tied and words don't come every time she passes by
I'm working all my courage up every time she passes by
I wanna ask her on the town every time she passes by
Here's my chance she's coming round here's my chance to make her mine
This ain't infatuation...
[ guitar ]
Look at how she smiles at me before too long I know she'll be
The answer to my every dream come true
Look at us we're hand in hand every time she passes by
I know I'm a lucky man every time she passes by
