He started a production company called Lucas Film back in 1971 and since then has taken part in producing all of the movies in the franchise. “Star Wars” has developed a large audience of very loyal fans over time. This being one of the reasons “The Force Awakens” did so well in overall sales. The film is the highest grossing worldwide opening of all time and it also reached the $1 billion mark faster than any other movie. It also received several Academy Awards nominations just like all of the previous films in the series did.
