After graduating from the University of Southern California in 1967, Lucas moved to San Francisco and co-founded American Zoetrope with filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola. He wrote and directed ''THX 1138'' (1971), based on his student short ''Electronic Labyrinth: THX 1138 4EB'', which was a critical success but a financial failure. His next work as a writer-director was ''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 Director and Best Picture. Lucas's next film, the epic space opera ''Star Wars'' (1977), later retitled ''Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope'', 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 ''Indiana Jones'' films ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'' (1981), ''The Temple of Doom'' (1984), ''The Last Crusade'' (1989) and ''The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'' (2008), and served as an executive producer, with a cursory involvement in pre and post-production, on ''The Dial of Destiny'' (2023). Lucas is also known for his collaboration with composer John Williams, who was recommended to him by Spielberg, and with whom he has worked for all the films in both of these franchises. He also produced and wrote a variety of films and television series through Lucasfilm between the 1970s and the 2010s.
In 1997, Lucas re-released the original ''Star Wars'' trilogy as part of a Special Edition featuring several modifications; 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 movie and television series of the same name, ''Star Wars: The Clone Wars'' (2008–2014, 2020), the war film ''Red Tails'' (2012) and the CGI film ''Strange Magic'' (2015).
In addition to his career as a filmmaker, Lucas has founded and supported multiple philanthropic organizations and campaigns dedicated to education and the arts, including the George Lucas Educational Foundation, which has been noted as a key supporter in the creation of the federal E-Rate program to provide broadband funding to schools and libraries, and the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, a forthcoming art museum in Los Angeles developed with his wife, Mellody Hobson.
