HOLLYWOOD SUMMER NIGHTS
George Lucas’s epic, world-building 1977 space opera jump-started a space travel revival — and its own empire — on film and television that continues to this day. This OG Star Wars story is where it all began for previous generations. Lucas spent $10 million in 1997 to rework and refine his original masterpiece, adding a new soundtrack and renaming it to fit into the expanding chronology. A New Hope reminds us why warp speed at the movies still feels mind-blowing.
