Pros:
Its mix of space/fantasy, great score, fun story, and memorable characters and lines
Cons:
It's hokey, sure, and it's no "Lord of the Rings"...but we love it anyway.
It's been over a quarter century since George Lucas (THX 1138, American Graffiti) first shared Star Wars with millions of awestruck moviegoers in the late spring of 1977. Both the director and the studio executives at 20th Century Fox thought they'd have a modestly successful sci-fi fantasy film with "just okay" box office receipts. Instead, bucking their logic and lowered expectations, Star Wars became not only the biggest hit of its time, but it also launched both a multi-movie series and a huge merchandising/multimedia "empire" that made millions for the shy, unassuming USC film school...
