S1.E1“Gang of outsiders.”
The year is 1975, and George Lucas has a problem. There is no visual effects company in Hollywood capable of realizing the massive vision behind his new film “The Star Wars”. George and camera expert John Dykstra assemble an unlikely team of artists and dreamers for the job, but despite their best efforts and some remarkable new technology, the ILM team falls woefully behind.

S1.E2“On the bucking bronco.”
When a near fatal wreck thwarts his boyhood dream of racing cars, George Lucas finds success as a filmmaker.

Star Wars premieres to worldwide success, yet George remains curiously unsatisfied with the results.
