Star Wars the corner stone of Modern SC/FI

Rating: Null/10 (14 December 2000)

I have some of the comments and negative views about Star Wars why though very funny and entertaining I sincerely hope the writers were just joking. Star Wars without a doubt is the movie that bought sc/fi back to Big Screen, better it bought "A New Hope" to big budget movies and sequels in general. When as a kid first time going to movies, seeing Star Wars blew my mind. Of course the movie starts off in an abrupt war, this is in fact episode Four, not One. Events are 30+ years in motion. Which add's to the dynamics of it. Why I will say Star Wars is not the best movie of all time, and maybe not even the best sc/fi of all time. Which reminds me in sc/fi they all are good and great movies and narrowing one movie down to being great is impossible. However no can say Star Wars is not the best sequel and trilogy series of all time's.
Cash Cow not withstanding the movie is famous in all corners of the world and what George Lucas has done with story telling is like what MJ did with basketball.
So yes Star Wars was Great, good and better than the norm of any 70's movie. The low budget even by Lucases own admission was cause this was a B Movie and more so "fun to make."
In retrospect it can be taken for it was a good movie and a trend setter for the like's of movies to come including Battle Star Galactica, and beyund.
**Special Note**** Dune the movie would have never recieved the go ahead for production if not for the success of Star Wars. Star Trek as well********
