The man who made us believe in a galaxy far, far away, George Lucas gave the world Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and the revolutionary wizardry of Industrial Light & Magic. At 81, the flannel-clad visionary has been enjoying retirement since selling his empire to Disney in 2012—though watching the sequel trilogy from the sidelines might have tested his Jedi calm. With billions in the bank and a legacy cemented in pop culture history, Lucas seems content to let others stress about midi-chlorians now.
