A New Hope: Part I
Star Wars: Episode IV--A New Hope changed the course of movie history. The production, however, was a tumultuous process that nearly killed the man who created it: George Lucas.
A New Hope: Part II
After A New Hope's difficult production, the all-important post-production and special effects loomed. A ragtag group of filmmakers gave the term "fix it in post" a new meaning.
The Empire Strikes Back
Attempting to break away from the studio system, George Lucas risked it all by self-funding Empire Strikes Back. With Lucas focused on the business, a new director took the reins.
Return of the Jedi
"Star Wars" takes its toll on George Lucas; while his marriage, relationships and physical health were breaking down, expectations were higher than ever for the series finale.

Attack of the Clones/Revenge of the Sith
With The Phantom Menace leaving many fans cold, Lucas was at his lowest with two more films still to be made. Would he lose the dedication of his fervent fan base?
