George Lucas’s Beloved 39-Part Serial Officially Arrives on a Brand-New Free Platform

The grand opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art gave fans of George Lucas another opportunity to reflect on his contributions to the world of moviemaking. Although Lucas hasn’t directed a movie in several years, he remains one of the most important filmmakers to have ever lived, thanks to his pioneering work on the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises. A key member of the New Hollywood movement of the 1970s, Lucas broke out with films such as THX 1138 and American Graffiti before going on to change the world with Star Wars. Lucas famously attempted to secure the rights to one of his favorite comic strips, but the producer who owned the rights refused him. It was only then that he decided to create the first Star Wars movie. Now, a television serial based on the comic strip is streaming for free on a brand-new platform for fans.
