George Lucas was inspired by Flash Gordon and the Japanese film The Hidden Fortress when he wrote Star Wars. The film became a pop culture sensation, perhaps the biggest one ever. Star Wars proved a watershed moment in film. It inspired everything that followed either in the use of special effects or in attempts to recreate its themes. Along with Jaws, Star Wars created the summer blockbuster. The film has spawned several sequels and prequels and its rights now belong to Disney...which means Star Wars will never die.
