Agreed on the "George Lucas-era movies" being Star Wars... though I didn't watch the second batch of three because I didn't like the Ewoks and I was getting tired of the whole thing. The first one, though, at the time was amazing. There had been nothing like it. Some kid they interviewed had watched it 70-some times at the theater and he wasn't all that exceptional. In 1977 they didn't have the same kind of wide releases they have now. As long as the movie was popular in first run theaters it didn't get to the boonies — some people had to wait months to see it. I'm guessing if this movie had been released in 2019 (and it had been as innovative as the 1977 movie was at the time) it probably would have grossed $5 billion. It was huge.
