The Force Turns a Fluke Into a Habit
Jaws absolutely changed the game when it was released in 1975. However, studios didn’t fully commit to dreaming up big budget pictures designed to dominate the summer until George Lucas sent Luke Skywalker on a journey through a galaxy far, far away in 1977’s Star Wars. Where Jaws established the big summer blockbuster as more traditional horror film in the vein of Alfred Hitchcock (only pulpier), Star Wars embraced Hollywood’s Golden Age epic sensibilities and transplanted them into a fantastic environment that allowed for new film technology to take center stage. When the sequels to Star Wars opened at three and six year intervals, the Hollywood movie franchise was born.
