Film is known as a risky investment, so when a filmmaker takes a gamble on himself, it's a big deal. Lucas didn't want to share creative rights with a studio, so he self-financed the movie, putting the whole $18 million up, using profits from "Star Wars" and a bank loan. It paid off. Lucas was able to recoup his money within three months of the film's release. Some consider this Star Wars installment the best film of the franchise
