impact.

Raimon couldn't help but shake his head in disbelief. It was more than he had ever expected, and everything was fantastic. All the decisions to invest 2 million in cards and make the sale after the movie to rework the plans for purchasing a few more properties in the U.S. Playing with Billy's money had become a running joke for Raimon. Lux Animation was growing uncontrollably alongside Raimon's business. He called the card factory and ordered them to prepare for another Star Wars card business. After all, he expected to sell the 2 million investment in California alone, and maybe some other major cities. But for that, he needed a lever.

He descended the stairs, ignoring how much like a celebrity he felt. He already had the signatures of nearly everyone who participated in the film. He made John Caliber wait, as he first had to settle something with a character that, for him, was of utmost importance in the scene.

-So, Mr. Arad, do you like the idea of turning something into a diamond? You've already seen the production facilities needed to shape it. Do you see what I'm saying? When you want something, you have to treat it like your baby. You've got to love it, create it, improve it, and bring it to what it's destined to be. Billy believes Marvel can do the same. We don't care about money—that will come on its own. When it does, the people involved with the films will be swimming in cash, for one simple reason: people love what's well-made. If we treat our fans with respect and dignity, the future is in our hands. Don't think about the money, not even once. Think about the story we'll create at Lux Animation—a huge series! Success at every turn! Real movies! Picture it—Marvel in Billy's hands will multiply its value by 1,000 times. You name the scale. What will you do, Avi?- said Raimon.

Avi Arad was stunned once again. Seeing is believing—that's the best way to prove something. Like a hidden gem, when found, the discovery feels even more real than the loss of it. In that split second of decision-making, something is either confirmed or denied. It avoids the omissions people make and becomes an arrow straight to the heart.

Avi Arad looked with eyes full of wealth, already quantified in dollar signs in his bank account. With Billy, he'd earn double or triple what he ever expected, and if the investments were as strong as they seemed, the mythical figure of a man who built a film company from the ground up, without support or investment, with just his nails and talent, started to take on a different shape. It was no longer the image of a man clawing his way up, but a man who could carry the weight of the world on his shoulders and paint it beautifully for everyone else to see.

-We all need to calm down a little.- said John Caiber.

-It's a good movie, but I feel like it didn't hit the mark we were hoping for,- added Michael Nicols, one of the biggest Star Wars experts around.

-On the contrary, for the first part, it was fantastic. It gave us a beginning, a middle, and an end. It explains the world or the era we're living in. We saw the Jedi Order, which had only been mentioned in words before, with brilliant casting, and we got a better understanding of Sith culture. Was it lacking something special?- replied Marcus Vader, as he was known in the small circle of Star Wars fans.

-We can agree that maybe it's not the best movie. It completely changed my idea of Star Wars. So many new things, and so many different cultures, it made me feel like we were watching a different series, if not for the lightsabers. But I think it improved a lot in action scenes and movement... for me, it's easily in the top three. Plus, remember it's three movies. Raimon mentioned that the saga should be seen as one whole and not as three separate films like the first trilogy was.- John Caliber responded, amazed by the magic that every Star Wars entry had carried since 1977, and this one didn't falter in quality.

In New York, everyone was going crazy over what they had just seen, calling it the beginning of a great trilogy. It was the kind of movie that made them squirm in excitement. People were satisfied, even though their expectations had been sky-high. The film didn't disappoint them. It was a great movie to enjoy, with an excellent plot and all the symbolism loaded with sci-fi elements in its grasp, leaving fans with numerous intriguing questions to ponder. It was proof that the success of Star Wars was tied to the franchise itself. But another segment of the population knew the success was thanks to the man who convinced Lucas, after many years, locked away in San Francisco.

-I can't wait to see what the coming years of Lux Animation will bring.- commented Stan Lee, nodding with satisfaction, seeing the movie with the eyes of a child unwrapping a Christmas present, for himself and everyone else.

-I think we now understand what a brilliant mind can achieve when it doesn't let itself be swayed by others' opinions,- added Josh Kubert, the old man was frankly amazed at what a single mind was capable of accomplishing.

Billy ended up going to the midnight showing with Danny DeVito and Ethan Hawke. Even Uma Thurman joined them. The group left the cinema in the early morning, each with mixed emotions.

Star Wars was more than just a simple series. In the United States, it's a symbol, and Billy didn't initially grasp what it meant to take it on. Taking it means bearing responsibility for a portion of the population that will attack at the slightest contradiction they find wrong. Even with his system and knowledge, the movie barely passed. People said, -It's good, I like it, I hope the next ones are better. - Those who loved it were happy and adored every part. The film filled pages of multiple writings, and the first night of the national premiere pulled in 12 million dollars, a brutal hit for the three showings they had in every theater across North America.

-A good movie.- said Danny DeVito. Making films is never easy, especially when you're the guy who's always going to be questioned with every move you make. Normally, if you do something great, people will say they could've done it too. If it's not as great, they'll attack like hyenas from every direction.

-Thanks, but I was just the screenwriter and investor. It's all Steven and George's work. The hardest part was getting the two of them to agree to work together. - Billy commented. It was the middle of the night, and both were heading to their trailers, feeling renewed.

-I want to be in it,- said Ethan, who was, in truth, a hardcore fanboy.

--Maybe in the next trilogy,-- Billy laughed.

Surprising the three of them. -- Next trilogy? What the hell, you haven't even finished this one, and you're already thinking about the next! --But for Danny DeVito, who had been in the industry a long time, he saw a glimpse of distant triumph. Billy was someone who focused on future successes, something the younger ones didn't quite understand yet—what it means to keep going, despite failures.

-I'm looking forward to the next trilogy.- Danny added.....
