A long time ago ...

Thirty years fly by fast. On this date in 1977, George Lucas changed the makeup of the movie business forever by releasing a Sci-Fi blockbuster ripoff of Kakushi-toride no san-akunin.

Six years later on this date, he started the serious downslide of respectability for the franchise by releasing "Return of the Jedi".

Like it or hate it. Star Wars did change the face of sci-fi fandom forever.

Seriously, busted a gut on this one!
