Star Wars didn’t happen by accident. 40+ years at the peak of the zeitgeist has made it a cultural phenomenon, influencing and informing other forms of entertainment, but step back to the mid 70’s when Star Wars itself was in its embryonic state. Other films formed the DNA of what would eventually become Star Wars, and the world-famous Alamo Drafthouse takes a closer look at the cinema behind Star Wars with the always awesome Matt Martin from Lucasfilm.
