Now, it is still a great movie, and the effects dont detract from the movie one bit, but this shows how far ahead Lucas & Co. were from everyone else in the late 70's early 80's with stop motion models. There is a big difference from ROTJ & ESB to the original SW, but all those movies are SOOO much better than the early Star Trek movies from that time. Can you guys think of any other SciFi movies from that time and how their effects compared to SW?
Sometimes I take for granted how great SW was at one time, ah, those were the days...........
