CANNES, France — George Lucas told Cannes how he had to sneak into his own first premiere at the French film festival and explained why "Star Wars" movies have always been for kids.

His next film, "American Graffiti," was also initially hated by its studio. But it went on to gross over a hundred million dollars. Duh-duh-duh-duh... the "Star Wars" phenomeon arguably would not exist without its epic score by composer John Williams.Spielberg recommended that Lucas consider Williams, who at the time was known in the industry as more of "a jazz guy.""When I heard it with the full orchestra, I went: 'Oh my God,'" recalled Lucas. "Sound is half the movie... it's the secret sauce.

"Most of the people are aliens," he said. "Even if they're big and furry, or whether they are green... the idea is all people are equal."
