Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope Creation Background

In the summer of 1973, George Lucas completed the script of "Star Wars", but the major Hollywood studios were not very interested in investing in a space science fiction film that required high-cost investment. In the end, the 20th Century Fox finally discovered the script, and based on George Lucas’s talent shown in the movie "American Style Painting", finally decided to take a gamble. With the support of 20th Century Fox, George Lucas completed the filming script in May 1974. This script is more ambitious than the previous story. At the end of the script, there are more than two hundred pages, and the whole story develops into a huge and long clue. The story is so colorful that George Lucas couldn't make such a thick script into a movie, no matter in terms of money or time. As a compromise, he finally decided to shoot the first 1/3 first. Despite this, he still had to completely abandon the first 20 pages of the script-and it was the first 20 pages of the script that developed into the "Star Wars Prequel" series 20 years later.
In the summer of 1975, George Lucas received an investment of eight million dollars to film the first part of "Star Wars." And the first thing he did was to gather a group of like-minded young people and set up the Industrial Light and Magic film special effects company. Because the film special effects needed to shoot "Star Wars" are beyond the capabilities of the film production industry at that time, they created the entire film special effects industry for filming "Star Wars" without the help of computer special effects technology.
