By the time it came out the water has already been tested by 2001.In terms of demonstrating the public's willingness to swallow big white elephant, it was already clear by the time the SW was rolled out.
What the Star Wars did was to show that once you adapt that simplistic mentality, no high art is required anymore. There is no need for Kubrick and his search for new forms - a simple cookie cutter will work. While the 2001 was - OK, arguably! - a thought provoking film, the SW was nothing but visual kaka, a chemical, with the viewer's brain now simply sending the data (notice - DATA, not even information) from the eyes into the arms and legs, the stomach and bladder - time to get more popcorn, time to pee....
From that point it all accelerated, and today we see the prolifiration of dreck in that format produced every month - all those idiotic shooting creatures abound. Today it probably takes just a few month to "assemble" another Star Trooper, or Lost in Space, or whatever the name of that crap is.
