We can thank American Graffiti for Star Wars.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Before Star Wars became a phenomenon, 1973's American Graffiti put a young George Lucas on the map, all while changing Hollywood forever. Inspired by Lucas' own life, the coming-of-age classic seamlessly blends comedy and drama elements.
A commercial flop, Lucas' debut feature pales in comparison to the vividly realized sci-fi works that hit theaters around the same time, like Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. While THX 1138 has a cult following now, it didn't set Lucas up for success at the time.
4 American Graffiti Laid The Foundation For The Coming-Of-Age High School Movie Genre The story of American Graffiti unfolds over the course of one summer night in small-town California. Although its focus on car culture is certainly of yesteryear, many of the film's other hallmarks remain important in the coming-of-age and high school movie genres. The film meanders a bit, capturing that summer wistfulness that so defines the adventures of one's teenage years.
2 American Graffiti Bankrolled Star Wars: Episode IV—A New Hope After the financial failure of THX 1138, it seemed unlikely that Lucas would get the chance to helm another sci-fi film, let alone a big-budget endeavor like 1977's Star Wars. Thankfully for Lucas — and for all the fans of his galaxy far, far away — American Graffiti changed the director's trajectory.
