I wouldn't blame Star Wars for the state of current day Hollywood, however. There has been a tragically increasing emphasis on production over substance for decades. I'm not so sure Star Wars started it. The original Star Wars was head and shoulder above the modern day crap.

People in Hollywood are sheep and scared sheep at that. They will not go out on a limb for a new idea or a commodity which may not have a chance to be a blockbuster. They go with proven commodities -- stars, production, marketing. It's a sad state of affairs. No one is more disappointed and disgusted about the mind numbing, eye glazing, head ache inducing smash-cut crap that is being churned out according to demographic profiles than I!
