George Walton Lucas (born May 14, 1944) is an American filmmaker. He is the creator of the Star Wars series as well as many other films, including American Graffiti, THX 1138, and, with the help of Steven Spielberg, Indiana Jones.
He lives in Modesto, California and is, in his own words, a "Buddhist Methodist". [1]
Many people consider him to be anti-union [Who says?], since he withdrew from the Writers' Guild of America and the Directors' Guild in 1980 over his choice of using no opening credits in The Empire Strikes Back. Since then, in all of his recent films, he has hired actors who are not members of the Screen Actors' Guild[Citation Needed].
