George Walton Lucas Jr. (born May 14, 1944) is an American filmmaker, producer and entrepreneur. Lucas is known for creating the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises and founding Lucasfilm, LucasArts and Industrial Light & Magic. He served as chairman of Lucasfilm before selling it to The Walt Disney Company in 2012. After graduating from the University of Southern California in 1967, Lucas co-founded American Zoetrope with filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola. Lucas wrote and directed THX 1138 (1971), based on his earlier student short Electronic Labyrinth: THX 1138 4EB, which was a critical success but a financial failure. His next work as a writer-director was the film American Graffiti (1973), inspired by his youth in early 1960s Modesto, California, and produced through the newly founded Lucasfilm. The film was critically and commercially successful, and received five Academy Award nominations including Best Picture. Lucas's next film, the epic space opera Star Wars (1977), had a troubled production but was a surprise hit, becoming the highest-grossing film at the time, winning six Academy Awards and sparking a cultural phenomenon. Lucas produced and co-wrote the sequels The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983). With director Steven Spielberg, he created, produced and co-wrote the Indiana Jones films Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Temple of Doom (1984), The Last Crusade (1989) and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008). He also produced and wrote a variety of films and television series through Lucasfilm between the 1970s and the 2010s. In 1997, Lucas rereleased the Star Wars trilogy as part of a special edition featuring several alterations; home media versions with further changes were released in 2004 and 2011. He returned to directing with a Star Wars prequel trilogy comprising The Phantom Menace (1999), Attack of the Clones (2002), and Revenge of the Sith (2005). He last collaborated on the CGI-animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008–2014, 2020), the war film Red Tails (2012), and the CGI film Strange Magic (2015). Lucas is one of history's most financially successful filmmakers and has been nominated for four Academy Awards. His films are among the 100 highest-grossing movies at the North American box office, adjusted for ticket-price inflation. Lucas is considered a significant figure of the 20th-century New Hollywood movement.

In the aftermath of Order 66, Ahsoka Tano walks a path of silence and sorrow. Haunted by the fall of Anakin Skywalker and the destruction of the Jedi Order, she disappears into the galaxy's shadow—cut off from the Force, the Republic, and herself. But as the Empire rises and fear spreads, she can no longer remain hidden. Drawn back into the fight after saving a group of fugitives, Ahsoka uncovers whispers of a growing rebellion and meets two emerging Jedi: Kanan Jarrus, a survivor in hiding, and his secret Padawan, Ezra Bridger, a Force-sensitive orphan on the brink of becoming something greater. Together, they form a fragile alliance—one built not on titles or traditions, but on belief in something better. But in the dark, Darth Vader hunts. Unaware of Ahsoka’s survival, the former Anakin Skywalker becomes the face of the Empire’s relentless oppression. When the truth of his identity begins to surface, Ahsoka must confront the impossible: her former master has become her greatest enemy. As the Empire tightens its grip and the seeds of rebellion are sown, Ahsoka and her new allies must decide whether to run, resist, or face the storm head-on. Their fight will culminate in a soul-shattering confrontation—one that will define the future of the Force itself.
