  George Lucas&apos;s decision to make everything aged looking is absolutely what brought the ship designs to life. They actually look like they&apos;ve been through a serious war with worn metal plates and windows that help the viewer see the scale of the ships. Same with the guns, cobbled together WW2 weapons instead of ridiculous space guns made the guns look actually threatening.

  I swear, a lot of Empire&apos;s effects still look better than most sci-fi effects today.

  You know you made a masterpiece when you’re still talking about it almost 50 years later.

  I still remember how, as a kid, my stomach dropped and my hope evaporated when the rebel foot soldiers on Hoth looked through the macro binoculars and saw the AT-ATs coming towards them! Such an incredible form of film making that drew you into the story/world, didn’t push you out the way CGI often does.

  So impressed with these pioneers. The guys behind the scenes were the unsung stars.

  That Boba Fett cartoon is like watching &quot;Heavy Metal&quot; Star Wars.
