Authors and Artists for Young Adults on George Lucas

May 14, 1944. Born George Walton Lucas Jr. in Modesto, California. "I was very much aware that growing up wasn't pleasant, it was just ... frightening.... I was unhappy a lot of the time. Not really unhappy--I enjoyed my childhood. But I guess all kids, from their point of view, feel depressed and intimidated.... My strongest impression was that I was always on the lookout for the evil monster that lurked around the corner."1

"My favorite things were Republic serials and things like Flash Gordon.... There was a television program called 'Adventure Theater' at 6:00 every night. We didn't have a TV set, so I used to go over to a friend's house and we watched it religiously. It was a twenty-minute serial chapter, and the left over minutes of the half hour was filled with "Crusader Rabbit." I loved it...."2

Lucas rarely went to feature-length movies, "and when I did it was to meet girls...."3 He loved comic books, however.
