Star Wars was a great and highly entertaining movie. 2001: A Space Odyssey was quite a way in the past, and Star Trek: The Motion Picture was in the future. Other major science fiction films that I can think of also go back to the 60s, and many of them were relatively low-budget releases... The Andromeda Strain Westworld Planet of the Apes Star Wars, of course, wasn't really like _any_ of those; it wasn't *serious* SF. The last time there was anything like it... was the Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers serials. John Savard
