Marcia Lucas, the Oscar-winning film editor behind *Star Wars *and the ex-wife of director George Lucas, has died. She was 80.
Lucas died on Wednesday in Rancho Mirage, California, from cancer.
“Marcia will be remembered as a brilliant storyteller, a trailblazer for women in film, a loving mother and grandmother, a generous host, and a loyal friend whose humor and sparkle filled every room she entered. Her influence on film is indelible, but those who knew her best will remember the way she made life feel more vivid, more beautiful, more fun, and more full of love,” the family statement said.
