It’s almost unfathomable to think that George Lucas really struggled to get Star Wars made. He presented the idea so many times to so many different people that it seemed doomed. When it finally came to fruition under his own steam, he was the one laughing.

For reasons unknown, the piece of Disney history was withdrawn before it went under the hammer.
