Kid Gleason Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 08:41 AM) To be honest most of you on here are probably too young to get it. The Star Wars movies were something that completely changed a genre of entertainment. They were the Beatles of sci-fi. They did things that had never been done, and you have to put it into the context of 1977 to understand it. It's just like watching War of the Worlds today, and thinking it was just another crappy black and white movie. Geek time from Kid: I would actually say that the original films were like The Beatles for MOVIES in general, not just Sci-Fi, as people that weren't into Sci-Fi flocked to see these films. For some Sci-Fi fans it was the second coming of Christ. But for the readers of people like Harlan Ellison, it was the coming of the Apocolypse. As for your War Of The Worlds comparison, I know what you mean...BUT...the original George Pal film was in color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
