at the time, Star Wars appeared to be a watershed event. I still remember the LINES as I have never seen them before around the theatres. Hell, I liked it myself, and I still do. But it marked the beginning of the end.In fact, I attribute the decline and fall of the entire world on Star Wars. Hollywood got a taste of BIG MONEY, and their rush to create eye candy style movies totally overwhelmed any efforts towards art or deeper entertainment.
This mindset spills over into world-wide distributed media, and pretty soon there are Osama Bin Laden's hating the USA and wanting to kill it.
So, were I to invent a time machine, I would go back in time and prevent Star Wars from ever happening. I would place good money that the World Trade Center would still be standing.
