43 years ago, the realms of cinematic creativity had evolved from the mind of an up-and-coming writer/director by the name of George Lucas. He would go on to develop the epic space narrative of Star Wars, spawning multiple sequels, spin-offs, and side quests down the line.
The original film was released in theaters back on May 25th, 1977.
I wrote a little piece about Lucas and his development with the movie in an article on The Nerd Stash where a few images from behind the scenes are featured along with a brief history on the film's impact in nerd history.
Much love.
May the Force be with you.
