He is impulsive, always on the edge of trouble. I am inherently conservative. We complement each other." When he was only 23, Lucas received backing for THX-1138, an expansion of a science fiction short he had started at U.S.C. Though the movie failed commercially, it was impressive enough to encourage Universal to finance American Graffiti...
