One of his most ambitious endeavors in that period was Willow, a large-scale fantasy about a dwarf (Warwick Davis) who becomes a sorcerer who saves a baby from an evil queen.
In between the original Star Wars trilogy and the prequels, George Lucas spent about 15 years making other projects and building Lucasfilm and its various subsidiaries.
While Willow was not as popular or as successful as Star Wars, it was a modest box-office hit, and became a popular movie of the era on home video.
The Willow series premieres on Disney+ on November 30.
