Either Avatar or Prometheus.

Both opened enormous doors for future story lines and possibilities. As well as they explored space and other planets, and concepts a little more than your standard big budget sci-fi/science fantasy flick.

 

I highly rated Prometheus (There are a few of us lol), it was the perfect sequel to the spirit of Ridley's vision of 'Alien', just wasn't the 'Alien(s)' carbon-copy most people were expecting/wanting. But I don't see the SW connection at all.

However, I agree 'Avatar' does have a bit of a SW feel. The creatures, the exotic imaginary world, the battles, the adventure, the clearly defined Good vs Evil (With our hero caught between the two). When the sequels finally come out, it is gonna be damned exciting to see what the other moons around Pandora are like. Could they be desert, ice, fire or air worlds?!??!

Plus it's confirmed that Sigourney Weaver is returning for the sequels. Is she gonna be some sort of 'force-ghost' style forest spirit?
