Who directed the 1977 American epic space-opera film "Star Wars"?

"Star Wars" is a 1977 American epic space-opera film written and directed by George Lucas, produced by Lucasfilm and distributed by 20th Century Fox.

The narrative of the film focuses on the hero journey of Luke Skywalker (Hamill), an everyman who becomes caught in the galactic conflict between the Empire and the Rebellion after coming into possession of two droids, R2-D2 (Baker) and C-3PO (Daniels), who are carrying the schematics of the Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star.

George Walton Lucas Jr. (born May 14, 1944) is an American film director, producer, screenwriter, and entrepreneur. Lucas is one of history's most financially successful filmmakers and has been nominated for four Academy Awards. His films are among the 100 highest-grossing movies at the North American box office, adjusted for ticket-price inflation. Lucas is considered one of the most significant figures of the 20th-century New Hollywood movement, and a pioneer of the modern blockbuster.

budderdudder, I share a birthday with Adam West, the original Batman. Don't know what year he was born, but since the show Batman was on TV before I was born, I can safely say we don't share the year

I can't wait to tell my Mom and her twin that they share the same birthday AND year as Mr. Lucas! I share a birthday with Jimmy Fallon, but not the year, sadly.

Sorry but I'm more of a Star Trek girl -- especially the original series. I think William Shatner is great (no, he doesn't look his age of a young 91 @ all). I knew the answer of The Big Bang Theory.
