Gentle corrections:
1. Both “Star Wars” and “Star Trek” are two words, not one.
2. The Star Trek movie actually disappointed at the box office. That was why Star Trek II changed the uniforms and pacing, and was much more like a long version of the TV series, which is what people really wanted. It also went for a PG rating, while “Star Trek: The Movie” was rated G (despite some adult thematic content). Word was the Star Wars might have been rated G, but Lucas wanted a PG so it wouldn’t be branded as a “kiddie” movie. Until Star Trek the Movie, it wasn’t altogether clear that “G” implied “kiddie movie”.
3. “The Wizard of Oz is 1939”, not 1934.
4. There’s no shortage of untalented actors getting leading roles. Hamill’s career was hurt when he got in a serious car accident that rearranged his face. They barely got him put back together again in time for Empire Strikes back, but other than one movie “Corvette Summer”, he sort of missed his opportunity in part because of the accident.
I see Starwars spelled both ways. Thanks for the other cirrections. I don’t think the point was lost in the 1934 v 1939 mistake.
Corvette Summer had one ugly corvette.
