George Lucas

Another rather dorky director I am a fan of is George Lucas. Known for his success with the "Star Wars" series that have spanned through mulptiple generations, Lucas created a fantasy world in a galaxy far, far away. The Star Wars movies tell the story of Jedi Warriors, the Force and the Skywalkers. Lucas really knows how to spin interesting tales of science fiction and fantasy. His movies caused a culture shock. Kids, teens and adults all latched on to these movies in the same way people did for Harry Potter years later. Anyone with the skill to create such an amazing following and response to what they've done is more than worth writing about.
Lucas also created the popular "Indiana Jones" series. Completely different from "Star Wars," this series follows the adventures of professor and treasure hunter, Indiana Jones. Jones is played by Harrison Ford, who also played Han Solo in "Star Wars."
The legacies of those two series continue to live on. Despite the series of movies ending for "Star Wars," video games, tv shows and short films continue to come out as spin offs from the original series. "Indiana Jones" continues to release new movies.
