While George Lucas is best known for his monumental Star Wars franchise, the cinematic technology which he and his expert special and visual effects team pioneered and controlled also largely led to his legendary financial status. Through a genius acquisition of the entire Star Wars franchise, Lucas was able to establish various prominent and technologically revolutionary film studios like THX. On top of film, Lucas has a firm place in the gaming industry with LucasArts, as well as audio and visual effects through Skywalker Sound and Light & Magic respectively.
