Rebellious child who cheated death. Indomitable visionary. And mastermind behind one of the world's most enduring fandoms: Star Wars.

"An epic tale of creative struggles and triumph." --Jeffrey Brown, bestselling author of Darth Vader and Son

In a tale befitting the saga he created, Lucas Wars follows George Lucas's journey from aimless dreamer to filmmaking trailblazer and prodigy of the New Hollywood movement. While his fellow rising stars--directors like Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg, and Martin Scorsese--craft The Godfather, Jaws, and Taxi Driver, Lucas follows his childhood dreams and begins work on an epic fantasy . . . which, he soon discovers, is not without its epic challenges.

Writer Laurent Hopman and artist Renaud Roche dive deep into the creative process behind Star Wars: A New Hope, from the hell of casting to the nightmare of filming. Lucas is forced to juggle actor quarrels, a secret love affair, costume and set mishaps, and constant pushback from film execs. But despite it all, a landmark movie emerges--one that changes the medium of film forever.

Lucas Wars is an exhilarating underdog story and a unique glimpse into the world of cinema. But most of all, it's an ode to the magic of childhood and the value of perseverance.

About the Author

Laurent Hopman is a journalist and writer. As an editor in chief in the entertainment press for over twenty years, a specialist in American cinema, and an expert on the Star Wars universe, he has long worked in show business. Now a comic book writer, his passion for Star Wars inspired him to write the script for Lucas Wars, the first graphic novel to tell the story of George Lucas and the genesis of Star Wars.

Renaud Roche graduated from the famous Paris Gobelins School of Arts in 2002, and began his career in visual effects before turning to storyboarding and illustration. For almost twenty years, he worked in cinema, advertising, and press. In 2019, he joined the Illumination Mac Guff studio and helped create feature films, including Sing 2 and Migration. But it was his love of Star Wars that drew him to comics. After Lucas Wars, he decided to devote himself to the medium full-time.
