This film is idolized by millions Americans and foreigners and we can all thank one man for it. George Lucas. A lot of opinions have been formed about all six of the Star Wars movie some good some bad.

I know at times my wife and kids think that I am a bit out of control when it comes to Star Wars, but they have an understanding of what I am passionate about.

He was very surprised that Star Wars got almost double the earning of close encounters and now had so much money.
