Roger’s path to Star Wars is anything but straightforward. It’s a story shaped by a rare moment in film history, when the rules were still being written and the future of cinema felt wide open. Before Star Wars became a cultural force, it was just an idea moving through a system full of doubt, risk, and big decisions.
This four-part series explores that journey. Each chapter looks at the moments, choices, and circumstances that helped carry Roger to one of the most important projects in modern film, and how that moment in time made it possible.
