And you can thank them for TNG, too.
I see. So, let's revise your atrociously bad statement to the following: ""ILM basically built the modern science fiction cinema industry as we know it."

No. Because ILM got started because of Star Wars. And there are tons of films on that list that aren't science fiction.

Merchandising rights were also a thing that didn't really exist before Star Wars, either.

Additionally, guys like Peter Jackson and James Cameron have cited Star Wars as heavy influence on their careers.

And as I've already said...PIXAR...created by George Lucas. You do know what PIXAR is, right honey?

Are you trolling or is this a serious question?

Oh don't get me wrong. Star Wars certainly has had some influence on cinema, particularly children's movies and films with horrible acting and scripts. They do look pretty though, kitten.

I just don't agree that it's as significant as you want it to be. That's all. There were other films before Star Wars. Lots of them, actually.

So the Star Trek films all suck? TNG sucks?

List of your favorite films post 1977, please. Let's ****ing hash this out, limey.

No, thankfully most of them were quite well done, despite their apparent direct lineage.

For what? It's normal for things to progress.

Let me put it this way, if you just listened to Star Wars: Episode IV and didn't watch it, what would you think?

Hope he is a better receiver.

I hear Clay receives from R2D2 and gives it to C3po but lusts for a wookie.

Star Wars was nominated for Academy Awards for:

best sound
best music

And it WON THE ACADEMY AWARD FOR BEST SOUND EFFECTS

It WON A GOLDEN GLOBE FOR BEST SCORE.

Suck it, Donger.

Skywalker Sound was created from Star Wars.

It has subsequently been involved in 765 motion pictures.

Submit.

Sorry, not the score. It was brilliant. The script and acting? Yeah, not so much.

"if you just listened to star wars"

I'm sure it got broadcast on NPR because it sucked, Donger.
