I tell the kids today that if they want to see WHY Star Wars was such a transforming movie, first go and watch several episodes of the TV series “Buck Rogers”. Then watch Star Wars and you will see the difference.

2001, a Space Odyssey was the closest thing to it "effects reality wise". But no where near as exciting. And before that, Star Trek, TOS. No comparison.

Exactly, and as I said above, that first scene with the massive spaceship coming out . . . only to be followed by the colossal Imperial Cruiser was breathtaking at the time.
