George Lucas is a renowned movie producer, screenwriter, director, and also an entrepreneur. He was raised on a walnut ranch in Modesto, California. Since his childhood, he developed an immense bending towards drag car racing. He was so much passionate that he planned to become a professional racecar driver, but unfortunately a terrible car accident just after his high school graduation ended that dream permanently. He then decided to attend Modesto Junior College before enrolling in the University of Southern California film school. This decision of his soon showed positive results. He even won first prize at the 1967-68 National Student Film Festival. Lucas and Coppola became good friends and formed a company called American Zoetrope in 1969. Another company called Sprocket Systems was established to edit and mix Star Wars and later becomes known as Skywalker Sound.

When working on Star Wars, Lucas decided to forgo his directing salary in exchange for 40% of the film's box-office take and all merchandising rights.

Lucas continued to make more movies that have created major breakthroughs in film making. His hard work and brilliant pay scale decision paid off and he now chairs the board of The George Lucas Educational Foundation.

Locus was quite happy with this car and couldn't refrain from buying it. He said that “I was drawn to its looks, its power, its use of high-tech materials, and, of course, its speed,”. The most amazing this is that the car is ultra strong and yet light weighted.
