What was the effect of Star Wars on the movie industry? How did it affect the audience at this time? What were the long term historical trends that Star Wars set into motion after this?
Star Wars had been the push that the industry needed, setting a new standard for sound in films and lighting a fire under the butts of exhibitors for them to upgrade their equipment. Although audiences of the time were unlikely to experience Star Wars to its fullest quality, the sound and the film were very well received, giving audiences a new craving for surround sound. The Star Wars films set into motion a better movie-viewing experience, helping to push for better technology and a new certification project under THX that helped theaters increase their quality and gain more popularity.
