Oscar-winning 'Star Wars' editor Marcia Lucas dies at 80

Marcia Lucas, Oscar-winning editor of the original *Star Wars* (1977) and *Return of the Jedi*, died Wednesday at 80 from metastatic cancer. Her editorial choices — including the decision to keep Obi-Wan's death as a narrative pivot — were structurally critical to the franchise that redefined Hollywood blockbuster economics.
