I forget who said it, but if ANH was released today, it would be crucified by today’s culture.Why ?
Were The Matrix, Avatar or Lord of the rings crucified by today’s culture ?
(and basically today’s culture has been partially defined by Star Wars so I don’t get your point)
(I don’t even understand the relevance here…)
You’re just repeating dumb statement which don’t mean anything trying to appear cool (you’ve failed by the way) or you really believe that ?
I know a lot of people who aren’t really Star Wars fans try to watch the first film and find it really boring and tacky. I don’t necessarily agree but there you go.
PS: I’ve got a PHD in Cowabunga. U can’t touch this.
The issue is that we’re living in a post-Star Wars world now. If 1977’s Star Wars was released today alongside a movie like Captain America: Civil War I can understand people being bored by it. But it’s largely because of Star Wars that we have the exciting effects-driven films we have today.
Compared to modern sci-fantasy movies, Star Wars might be boring, but if we were in a hypothetical world where the film industry today was still the same as it was in 1976 and Star Wars came out, I think the effect would largely be the same.
But it’s impossible to speculate with any accuracy.
