During the filming of the first Star Wars, everyone else on the set thought it would flop. probably because there was some weird shit going on (chewbacca, weird as robots, knock-off samurai suit, etc.) and because of the special effects. the special effects obviously weren't seen when the actors were filming, and I'd argue that the special effects had a lot to do with star wars' success. Nearly everyone when they make predictions on whether a movie will be a success only look at it based on what types of movies were successful in the past. And most space type movies in that era were serious science fiction movies that had great special effects, but focused on making the effects based in a place of physical reality. An all-ages big budget space opera hadn't really been tried before Lucas and Fox made the movie. And it probably would have failed if they didn't quietly remove Lucas from day-to-day control and put the movie in the hands of competent editors. <cite>wah_wah_wah posted [p:887571782] in George Luc...
