Cheesy Yet Satisfying

Some things considered a travesty by today’s standard were oh-so-cool back in the day. Enter Princess Leia’s aluminum foil jewelry. Oddly, it works for her. Or may be it just worked in the 70’s. I really don’t know. But clearly, if someone tried that today, you can be certain the film would be hitting the racks as a B movie. How George Lucas turned it classic instead of tacky I have yet too discover. The ceremony at the end Episode IV remains one of the most poignant in classic sci-fi. Personally, I am willing to credit John Williams 50% of the success due to his awesome music score in that section of the film, but the vision remains George Lucas. All hail George! All hail George! King of Science Fiction!
