This two-hour special, spiced with some wonderful film clips, charts Lucas' life from his small-town childhood in Modesto, Calif., to his rocket ship ride into the moviemaking stratosphere and beyond after the momentous release of "Star Wars" in 1977. Having pioneered state-of-the-art special effects and an acclaimed movie sound system (THX), the shy and aloof Lucas is considered one of film's archetypal gear heads and gizmo wizards.
