Short answers, pulled from the story.
George Walton Lucas Jr. is an American filmmaker and philanthropist born on the 14th of May 1944, in Modesto, California. He created the Star Wars franchise and the Indiana Jones franchise, and founded Lucasfilm, Industrial Light and Magic, LucasArts, and THX.
Before filming began on Star Wars, Lucas declined to renegotiate a higher directing fee and instead negotiated with 20th Century Fox for ownership of the licensing and merchandising rights, including novelizations, clothing, and toys, along with contractual arrangements for sequels. Lucasfilm has since earned hundreds of millions of dollars from those licensed products.
Lucas sold Lucasfilm to the Walt Disney Company in 2012 for a reported sum of $4.05 billion. He stated that after 41 years, he wanted to devote more time and resources to philanthropy, and he intended to donate the majority of the proceeds to his philanthropic endeavors.
John Williams composed the Star Wars score, recommended to Lucas by Steven Spielberg. The score won Williams his third Academy Award for Best Original Score and was named the greatest film score of all time by the American Film Institute in 2005.
The George Lucas Educational Foundation is a nonprofit operating foundation Lucas established in 1991 to celebrate and encourage innovation in schools. Its content is available under the brand Edutopia, and Lucas used the foundation to advocate for the E-Rate program, enacted as part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which provides broadband funding to schools and libraries.
The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art is a forthcoming art museum developed by Lucas and his wife Mellody Hobson to display his collection of illustrations and pop art, estimated to be worth more than $1 billion. After plans in San Francisco and Chicago were abandoned, Lucas announced in January 2017 that the museum would be built in Exposition Park in Los Angeles, on an eleven-acre campus with a five-story, 300,000-square-foot building due for completion in 2026.
