well, you're the one who agreed with it,
if you didn't , you should have said so a lot more clearly...................
You obviously didn't understand the context of the quote. Puggo didn't say he cared about whether or not SW won awards either. It related to the fact that Academy Award-winning films are often referred to as benchmarks in their winning categories, by those who are interested in the movie-making process.

why don't you explain why exactly should this movie be studied?
i don't see any reason to... it's just a movie, that some people liked in 1977..
I have to explain that to you? Have you never heard of cinema studies? Are you not aware that people go to college to study the art of film, film editing, cinematography, sound design- all of which SW won awards for? Are you not aware that Star Wars inspired an entire generation of filmmakers to make film their profession? Really?

are you studying it? are you student of the history of cinema? is anyone here?
Yes, yes and yes. I am a student of the history of cinema and I have been studying the first three Star Wars films since I first saw them in the early 1980's. Many of the people on this site are in the film business and/or studying film in school. Some people believe that film is an actual art form. But not you, I gather.
Negative1, I've tried to be patient and ignore some of your obviously intentionally confrontational statements, but I'm really starting to wonder about your motives. Your actions & words are strangely contradictory. You claim to love SW, even going to the trouble and expense of acquiring original 35mm prints, and then you act hostile towards the other people on this board, people who you should have a lot in common with, and who's support I assume you would want if you are to continue with your 35mm transfer projects -the fruition of which- (I'm sorry to say) is looking shakier by the second.
I'm going to take Tiptup's advice and not respond to (nor read) any more of your odd rantings (*hits "ignore" button* for the first time ever).
