A Tribute to George Lucas


Although known for his Star Wars legacy, George Lucas has directed a mere six films. However, his contributions to the craft of filmmaking have forever altered the industry. From the groundbreaking special effects of Star Wars to THX to the innovations of Industrial Light and Magic, George Lucas has forever upped the barre on our expectations of the movie going experience. Explore with us in our Tribute to George Lucas.

What's New


George Lucas came up with the story and is the executive producer for Red Tails a movie about the Tuskegee airmen the first all black aerial combat unit in World War II. The movie stars Terrance Howard and Cuba Gooding Jr. and is currently being filmed.

Next year we're just going to have to go to this. Petaluma, California hosted the fourth annual "Salute to American Graffiti" and "from morning until nightfall, the streets where George Lucas' coming-of-age movie was filmed in 1972 were turned into a tribute to the cars, music, culture and fashion of that era." Actress Candy Clark was there and so were thousands of people who probably wished they could go back in time to those good old days. You can read about it in the Petaluma local paper.
