Pretty much everyone in the world knows about George Lucas but I believe the G in George is for Genius!
A few years ago in a studio close, close from home, a couple of production companies introduced to our world the Star Wars franchise. 1977 was a great year for Sci-Fi all around the world for it started a revolution; the Star Wars revolution. It has been over 40 years now and the saga continues to be a household name. From toys to collectors items; Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca and more have captivated the minds of people of all ages. In 2011, the franchise was worth a whopping $29,800,000,000 including merchandise, movies and more. Nobody really knows how an idea can be worth so much, but current multi-billionaire George Lucas most definitely did something special for he left a mark in mankind that will last forever. Take care, and may the force be with you.
