Már akkor is voltak kritikusok amikor 1977-ben George Lucas nagyot dobbantott.
“If I were asked to say with certainty which movies will still be widely known a century or two from now, I would list 2001, The Wizard of Oz,’ Keaton and Chaplin, Astaire and Rogers, and probably Casablanca’ … and Star Wars,’ for sure.” – The Chicago Sun Times
“One of Mr. Lucas’s particular achievements is the manner in which he is able to recall the tackiness of the old comic strips and serials he loves without making a movie that is, itself, tacky.” – The New York Times
“Like a breath or fresh air, Star Wars sweeps away the cynicism that has in recent years obscured the concepts of valor, dedication and honor.” – Variety
“The entirely mindless could go and see it with pleasure. But it plays enough games to satisfy the most sophisticated.”
