<<snip>> (...) <<snip>> (...) You know, I saw the movie last Sunday for the first time (!) and I have a pretty fresh memory of the Sandcrawler and though it'd make a truly interesting LEGO project. And what did I see at Brickshelf on my daily tour? (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I'm working on it :) I was born in '78 and played more with LEGO then watched TV when it was on there. I think the magic is lost today or if you're an adult. Still it's really great movies but I don't think it'll become a part of my life in (...) (23 years ago, 10-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I've never watched it! (and I'm twelve) I've read both the DK Star Wars reference books, and know a bit about the craft, but never watched the movie! Anyway, great sandcrawler. Great detail, right down to the auxillary hatch on the main door. (...) (23 years ago, 10-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Another thing that made a big difference (IMO) is that before Star Wars, there was a fairly long drought of 'big' science fiction movies. Sure, there were some movies around, but not many. So I think people were much more receptive to Star (...) (23 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I believe that most sci-fi after Star Wars used Lucases own special effects production company, ILM, to do the effects in their movies. Before this, most studios did cheesy effects 'in house' (2001 being a noteable exception, those were pretty (...) (23 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I doubt this would have been true mostly because ST the Motion Picture was just a little to slow. It was closer to 2001 ASO then it was SW. SW had blasters firing and a much faster script. Plus ST tries to base in self in some sort of "future (...) (23 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I dunno-- I'm almost tempted to say that Star Trek could've hurt the sci-fi market for SW had it been first. First off, effects. One of the HUGE things SW did was the great effects. Chances are ST would've had the same cheezy effects that (...) (23 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)
