film school. In 1971, He formed his own company, Lucasfilm Ltd. From 1973 to
1974 he began writing the screenplay for Star Wars. He was inspired to make
this movie from Flash Gordon and the Planet of the Apes films. In 1975 he established
ILM (Industrial Light & Magic) to produce the visual effects needed for
the movie. Another company called Sprocket Systems was established to edit and
mix Star Wars and later becomes known as Skywalker Sound. Several studios turned
down his movie until Twentieth Century Fox gave him a chance. He agreed to forgo
his directing salary in exchange for 40% of the film's box-office take and all
merchandising rights. From 1980 to 1985 Lucas was busy with the construction
of Skywalker Ranch, built to accommodate the creative, technical, and administrative
needs of Lucasfilm. He also created the THX System, which was created to maintain
the highest quality standards in motion picture viewing. He was married to Marcia
