He invented the force


Roman Kroitor, a Canadian, was a filmmaker, a co-founder of IMAX and was a National Film Board director. 

George Lucas first heard about the idea of The Force watching Kroitor talk to Warren McCulloch in the abstract @thenfb abstract film 21-87. In that film, Kroitor said:

"Many people feel that in the contemplation of nature and in communication with other living things, they become aware of some kind of force, or something, behind this apparent mask which we see in front of us, and they call it God."

George Lucas has credited Kroitor as the inspiration behind The Force in Star Wars.
