Marcia Lucas is well known as the ex-wife of George Lucas.
Marcia is an American film editor and film producer. She is best known for editing the Star Wars trilogy as well as other films by her then-husband George Lucas: THX-1138 and American Graffiti.
Marcia first met George Lucas while he was attending film school at the University of Southern California in 1967 when both served as apprentice editors on Journey to the Pacific under Verna Fields.
After dating for two years, Marcia and George married on February 22, 1969. They adopted one daughter, Amanda Lucas, who was born in 1981.
Due to her husband’s commitments to the Star Wars films and Raiders of the Lost Ark, Marcia grew impatient in her marriage as she blamed his workaholism and emotional blockage.
In the middle of 1982, she asked for a divorce, but to maintain a positive public image, George asked her to wait until after the release of Return of the Jedi to go public with the decision.
On June 13, 1983, George formally announced at Skywalker Ranch that he and Marcia were divorcing.
When the divorce was finalized, she reportedly received $50 million from the settlement.
