Adesuwa Omoruan is dubbed the "queen of selfies" by her siblings. She confesses to taking more selfies than regulars photographs. When Adesuwa Omoruan was a child, she never thought or imagined herself becoming a broadcaster; it was the last thing she ever thought of becoming. As far as she was concerned, the lifestyle of reporters was not up to par with the kind of life she wanted, as the young dreamer that she was at the time. She wanted a life that was rich and full of the best life could offer, although she wasn't seeking a life that was necessarily flamboyant. "I just felt that journalist were not paid enough... My idea of a journalist wasn't just working at that time. Sometimes they looked very stressed, very few of them had cars... Growing up, I had this picture of what I wanted to be in life..." She had wanted to become a banker! As a child, she had taken trips to the bank with her mother on several occasions to cash-in her moth
George Lucas was born in Modesto, California on May 14th, 1944. He graduated from the University of Southern California. His present net worth is estimated at $4.5 Billion.
Curiously though, for the man who was going to make history with his memorable characters in Star Wars, Lucas was, at a younger age, interested in race cars. Although, this later served as the inspiration for his films, amongst them Star Wars.
As a young man, George Lucas was keenly interested in cars and motor racing. He wasn't considered very bright in school but had an outstanding attendance record- a feat which was unusual for students such as he was. In any case, he did excel at the arts. His art Teacher, Ida Gross recognized his potential.
On one occasion, George Lucas was coming from researching materials at the library for his school's drama when he had a fatal motor accident. According to one account, it was during this time, he discovered "the force"- 'an energy field and something more. An aura that at once controls and obeys. It is a nothingness that can accomplish miracles'. That was how Ben Kenobi explained to Luke Skywalker in Star Wars.
George Lucas is credited with the Walt Disney's ability to use his eyes and ears to create memorable moments nd characters in his movies. His first film, THX 1138 was a critical success but a commercial failure. Feeling that THX presented a grim view of the future, he went on to film American Graffiti, a film celebrating the final year of high school, which went on to become both a critical and commercial success, even receiving 5 Academy Awards.
Star Wars became George Lucas next film, and it was a cultural phenomenon, this enabled him to be referred to as a significant figure in the New Hollywood era. It became the highest grossing movie of all time until Steven Spielberg's E.T. The Extraterrestrial displaced it. Prior this time, he had been offered a scholarship by Warner Bros. to observe filmmaking with director, Francis Ford Coppola.
Star Wars went on to become a modern pop culture theme. It has been significantly embedded in popular culture. It has been considered an influencing factor for major sci-fi movies of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Star Wars has found its way into popular lexicons and its characters are so memorable- characters like Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Yoda, Chewbacca the wookie, Artoo-Detoo became a delight to movie goers worldwide. Star Wars was also considered a cultural unifier.
Star Wars also tipped Hollywood into the era of special effects filmmaking. It has made lots of impacts in politics, aeronautics, music, movies, the media, pop culture, novels and so on.
If George Lucas had given up when he faced difficulties to make Star Wars, the era of big blockbuster movies might never have been born.
