“History in Objects” is a continuing series exploring Lucasfilm’s legacy stretching from our founding in 1971 to today. Through objects both rare and commonplace, the company’s past, present, and future are brought to life.
At Lucasfilm headquarters in San Francisco, company historians have created a special exhibit display of rare materials from our very first production, American Graffiti, which is currently celebrating its 50th anniversary. Dozens of pieces of memorabilia, cultural artifacts, and behind-the-scenes items chart the story of Graffiti’s making in 1972 and public reception when it first debuted in 1973. This special edition of our “History in Objects” series explores a handful of these treasures.
