Stories and the tools to tell them
George Lucas was born on 14 May 1944 in Modesto, California. The filmmaker and founder of Lucasfilm is known for creating Star Wars and for his role in developing the Indiana Jones stories.
Lucas directed American Graffiti (1973), a coming-of-age film drawing on memories of his California youth. It was Lucasfilm’s first production and preceded his space fantasy Star Wars (1977).
To help realise Star Wars, Lucas established the visual-effects company Industrial Light & Magic. His work across Lucasfilm brought filmmaking, sound and visual effects into close collaboration.
In Minions & Monsters (2026), Lucas makes a brief voice appearance as a version of himself. The cameo places the filmmaker inside an animated story about the Minions’ encounter with movie history.
