Critics, per Wikipedia
According to Entertainment Weekly, many reviewers in 1977 were "overwhelmed" by Star Wars' charms, with particular praise going to C-3PO, R2-D2 and the Tatooine cantina scene. In the United States, Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times called the film "an out-of-body experience", while Vincent Canby of The New York Times described it as "the most elaborate ... most beautiful movie serial ever made". A. D. Murphy of Variety called the film magnificent, claiming that Lucas had succeeded in his attempt to create the "biggest possible adventure fantasy" based on the serials and action epics of his childhood.

But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great." @variety.com $DIS variety.com/2025/film/ne...

neutral · AI labelView post →The fact that two low-budget horror films have beat out an actual Star Wars movie in the box office makes me so damn happy.
positive · AI labelView post →There's a tradition of film directors and studios congratulating each other for beating their box office records. In 1977, when STAR WARS beat Jaws to become the highest-grossing movie ever, Steven Spielberg took out the below ad for George Lucas in @Variety 1/11
neutral · AI labelView post →I want to conduct an experiment with the Bluesky platform. *taps microphone* The Last Jedi is my favourite Star Wars film that isn’t the original trilogy.
positive · AI labelView post →We are saddened to learn that legendary film editor Marcia Lucas has passed away the age of 80. She won an Oscar for her work on ‘Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope’ (1977)…
neutral · AI labelView post →RIP Marcia Lucas, whose skill as a film editor and storyteller made a clunky independent film called STAR WARS greater than the sum of its parts. Rightly referred to as "Lucas's secret weapon," Marcia had an uncanny talent to see a film from the perspective of an audience--and won an Oscar for it.

neutral · AI labelView post →Skeleton Crew is a kids show. The original Star Wars was a kids movie. Many of us adults have been entertained by this stuff through the years, but Star Wars works best when it is first and foremost for kids. This is the way.

neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatched the original Star Wars (A New Hope) today. Obviously 'I love Star Wars' is baked in, but if you've not watched it in a while you can easily forget that the back half of that movie is some of the most genuinely thrilling stuff on film, back to back. 1977 must not have known what hit it.

neutral · AI labelView post →Someone said, "the good Star Wars movies reference Kurosawa, the bad Star Wars movie reference other Star Wars movies." That's why in my novel, the characters never mention Star Wars but can't shut up about Seven Samurai. That way, it will be good

positive · AI labelView post →It's time to end the arguments, they've gone on much too long. Here is the definitive ranking of Star Wars: 1. Star Wars (film, 1977) 2. Star Wars (comic book series, 1977-present) 3. Star Wars (video game, 1983) 4. Star Wars (novelisation, 1976) 5. Star Wars (proposed missile defence system, 1983)
