Years before 1977 when George Lucas started writing Star Wars, most people didn't believe his film had any potential.

Lucas approached United Artist with a pitch for a space opera called The Star Wars. The studio rejected the idea, and Lucas went on to make American Graffiti before returning to his Star Wars project two years later.

After tinkering with the story, Lucas wrote a 13-page treatment for the project and presented it this time to Universal pictures, who similarly rejected it, deeming it too strange and complaining that science fiction wasn't popular enough at the time to merit such an expensive film.

Even after the film was eventually picked up by 20th Century Fox and it was time to shoot, nobody else believed George Lucas was with his senses.

The crews and the actors doubted if anyone in the world would like such a movie, so much that Lucas himself became very frustrated and was diagnosed with hypertension.

But Lucas was willing to take the risk, went on with the film anyway, released Star Wars in the year 1977 and the world accepted it.

Today, star wars had generated billions of dollars in worldwide sales but it all started when a man decided to take the risk despite doubt from everyone else.
