film.

Moreover,
Mark Hamill's car
accident left his face visibly scarred, which suppressed
re-shoots.
[40]Star Wars was originally slated for release in
Christmas 1976; however,
delays pushed the film's release to summer 1977. Already anxious
about meeting his deadline, Lucas was shocked when his editor's
first cut of the film was a "complete disaster." After attempting
to persuade the original editor to cut the film his way, Lucas
replaced the editor with
Paul Hirsch and Richard Chew.

He found
that the pace was dictated by the actors instead of the cuts.
Hirsch and Chew worked on two reels simultaneously; whoever
finished first moved on to the next.

Meanwhile,
Industrial Light &
Magic was struggling to achieve unprecedented special effects.
The company had spent half of its budget on four shots that Lucas
deemed unacceptable.
[40]
Moreover, theories surfaced that the workers at ILM lacked
discipline, forcing Lucas to intervene frequently to ensure that
they were on schedule.

With hundreds of uncompleted shots remaining, ILM was forced to
finish a year's work in six months.

executives, Gareth Wigan, told Lucas, "This is the greatest film
I've ever seen", and cried during the screening. Lucas found the
experience shocking and rewarding, having never gained any approval
from studio executives before.

Wells believed the Industrial
Revolution had quietly destroyed the idea that fairy-tale magic
might be real. Thus, he found that plausibility was required to
allow myth to work properly, and substituted elements of the
Industrial Era: time machines instead of magic carpets, Martians
instead of dragons, and scientists instead of wizards. Wells called
his new genre "
scientific fantasia."

The Wizard of Oz

The film received a largely positive critical reception. In his
1977 review,
Roger
Ebert called the film "an out-of-body experience," compared its
special effects to those of
2001: A Space Odyssey, and
opined that the true strength of the film was its "pure
narrative."
[74] Vincent Canby
called the film "the movie that's going to entertain a lot of
contemporary folk who have a soft spot for the virtually ritualized
manners of comic-book adventure."
[75]
However, there were a few negative responses.
Pauline Kael of
The New
Yorker criticized the film, stating that "there's no
breather in the picture, no lyricism," and that it had no
"emotional grip."
[76] Jonathan
Rosenbaum of the
Chicago Reader stated, "None of
these characters has any depth, and they're all treated like the
fanciful props and settings."
[77] Peter
Keough of the
Boston Phoenix said
"
Star Wars is a junkyard of cinematic gimcracks not unlike
the
Jawas' heap of purloined, discarded, barely
functioning droids."
[78]
Stanley Kauffmann of
The New Republic also responded
negatively, noting, "His work here seems less inventive than in
THX 1138."
[79]
According to
Rotten Tomatoes, of the 62 current
critical reviews of the film provided on that site, 58 responded
favorably (94% of the reviewers), stating in consensus that "the
action and special effects are first rate."
[80]In 1989, the U.S.
National Film Registry of the
Library of
Congress selected the film as a "culturally, historically, or
aesthetically important" film.
[81] In
2006, Lucas's original screenplay was selected by the
Writers Guild of
America as the 68th greatest of all time.

Peter Biskind
complained for the same reason: "When all was said and done, Lucas
and Spielberg returned the 1970s audience, grown sophisticated on a
diet of European and New Hollywood films, to the simplicities of
the pre-1960s
Golden Age of movies… They
marched backward through the looking-glass."
[93][94]
In an opposing view,
Tom
Shone wrote that through
Star Wars and
Jaws,
Lucas and Spielberg "didn't betray cinema at all: they plugged it
back into the grid, returning the medium to its roots as a carnival
sideshow, a magic act, one big special effect", which was "a kind
of rebirth".
