For those of you interested in the making of the original Star Wars feature movie…

As a fan of science fiction back in the 1970s (Star Trek, Lost in Space, and the other low-brow stuff on TV), I recall going to see the movie at the Dayton Mall when I was 16 years old and being overwhelmed with the opening sequence. I’ve probably see this movie 10 times over the last 30 years… I have to admit that I really hated the three prequels that Lucas created later in life. He became too enamored with the special effects and lost sight of the story-telling.
