Imagine how different Star Wars would be today if the first Star Wars Movie was not a Hit and Lucas was not lucky Splinter of the Mind Eye would have been the Sequel to A New Hope probably characters like Han Solo and Obi Wan would not have appeared in the Sequels since possibly Harrison Ford and Alec Guinness would consider Star Wars a Failure and a Damage to their Careers Leia probably wouldnt be Luke Sister and she would be Luke Romantic interest probably Vader wouldnt be Luke Father Star Wars would not have made Lucas Rich and Star Wars would probably be a forgotten Franchise or Movies of cult except for Sci-Fi enthusiasts like the Original Planet of the Apes or Flash Gordon Movies or other Old Sci-Fi Movies of the time
