quote: |
"It's hard work making movies. It's like
being a doctor: you work long hours, very hard
hours, and it's emotional, tense work. If
you don't really love it, then it ain't worth
it." | | |
|
| It was his love of car racing that would
dramatically change his life. June 12, 1962,
three days before Lucas was to graduate from
high school, he was involved in a serious
accident. Lucas was gravely injured when his
Fiat Biancina was struck broadside by another
car (a fellow student at Downey High School,
Modesto California) and was sent rolling toward
a walnut tree at sixty miles per hour.

THX: The Audience Is Listening
- Lucas set out to develop and implement a set of quality control
criteria for theatres. His goal was to ensure that his films, as well as
those of other filmmakers, would be accurately reproduced for moviegoers
for whom sound was an important part of their overall film enjoyment...
Three years later THX, named after Lucas' first feature film, THX 1138,
had been developed and THX systems were installed in two theatres for
the premiere of RETURN OF THE JEDI. Today, more than 2000 theatres and
dubbing stages around the world meet THX requirements.
