A fan-made model of Barack Obama as a Jedi, seen at Rancho Obi-Wan. Obama is the first president to have been a teenager when Star Wars hit theaters. He crossed lightsabers with the US Olympic fencing team, responded to a petition requesting a Death Star, and was dubbed a Jedi Knight by George Lucas—then confused a Jedi mind trick with a Vulcan mind meld. CHRIS TAYLOR

Gary Kurtz, here with Lucas on the throne room set from Star Wars, was four years Lucas’s senior and had the Vietnam experience he was looking for in a producer for Apocalypse Now. But he was also a Flash Gordon fan, and ended up producing a remarkable string of hits for Lucas instead: American Graffiti, Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back. His level of influence over the early franchise, before his sudden departure from it, is still debated. KURTZ/JOINER ARCHIVE
