Why did George Lucas start at episode 4?
Because IV-VI (4-6) are often called the "Origional Trilogy" George Lucas thought of that idea first, and made I-III (1-3) later to tell the story of what happened beore episodes 4-6. 4-6 would be sort of incomplete without 1-3.
George Lucas wrote all six episodes at once. when deciding which one to make first he went with episode IV because it was by far the cheapest and easiest to make.
Addition by SJ Commander:
While that may be part of the reason, another reason was that George Lucas wanted to make Episode I first, but he decided against making it because he wanted to make the giant, sprawling metropolis Coruscant as good and realistic as possible, and the CGI techniques and matching programs and computers weren't there yet. So he decided against messing with his grand vision and made Episode IV first because it required less grandiose CGI techniques.

He directed 6 films: THX 1138, American Graffiti, Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope, and all 3 Star Wars prequel trilogy films. (This is a different person) He did way more than that!!!!! He also did Howard the Duck, Indiana Jones, Twice Upon A Time, Tucker, Radio Land Murders, The Land Before Time, Labyrinth, and lots more!!!!! I am also pretty sure that he did Strange Magic... He did not direct all those films, but he created the idea before he gave it to somebody else because he wasn't getting enough sleep when he was directing..... But he did not make only 6 films, that is for sure!!!!!!!
