Twentieth Century Fox

Twentieth Century Fox was the distributor and sometimes maker of such famous films like Star Wars, Indiana Jones and other famous movies.

It was George Lucas's third choice for a distibutor of the film after Universal and another company turned him down. Fox or more specifically Alan Ladd Jr., was convinced to supply Lucas with money for his project due to Ralph Mcquarrie's artwork. In 1977, their risk paid off when Star Wars became a enormous hit. Fox's stock sky-rocketed and even though they had sold the merchandising and sequel rights to Lucas, they still profited well.

Today, with the final Star Wars film finished, Fox is still rolling in dough from the movies and will still due to the coming re-releases of the film. When those are over, whos to say Fox won't approach Lucas to make a Sequel trilogy just to keep the money rolling.
