Also, I'd like to remind those that weren't around in 1977 that it was no secret that Lucas had borrowed elements from other movies. There was even a magazine brought out that showed like-for-like stills comparing The Searchers, The Dam Busters, Captain Blood, Robin Hood, Flash Gordon, etc, to shots in Star Wars. Others include The Guns of Navarone, for the climactic attack on the Death Star, along with the fighter-bomber action film 633 Squadron. But the most significant of these is The Dam Busters, thanks to the very specific bombing strategy Luke and his fellow X-wing pilots must deploy, each taking turns to try and deliver their killer payload. There are snippets of dialogue Lucas reused verbatim – “Get set for your attack run!”; “Look at the size of that thing!”.
Here's the cover of the magazine for those who can't recall it.

Came from from some tremendously positive and painfully harsh critics in a movie site where I do reviews, and THESE are the wisest words I've read. Only a line, and yet...
Why do people (not here, mind you) fight and abuse verbally each other over a movie without any political content? As old as cinema itself, yes: 120 years and I can't understand it yet.

Out of that list, Eastwood for sure. And the remake Dirty Harry right after (Kidding. He is a dead ringer though)
Plus 29 is as young as I'd ever be interested in seeing Han. His mysterious past is part of his charm.
I know Ford was 35 while filming, but I thought I read somewhere that the character of Han Solo was meant to be 29 in A New Hope
Also I posted this in the other SW thread, but it's more fitting here
It's unlikely to dethrone Avatar in overall worldwide gross ($2.8bn) however, due to the strong US $, but could potentially take out Titanic ($2.2bn). It is currently at $1.75bn & counting.
Well it was expected that SWTFA would have a huge box office haul in English speaking countries that have been brought up with the SW history, and having opened at the beginning of the Xmas hols, actually gave the film the equivalent of 3 huge opening weekends.
The thing is though despite other strong grosses in Europe and a few other territories, the film is now dropping quite quickly.
The China opening, while big, the film is already dropping off quickly, and will be lucky to see $150 mil total in that country, as the Chinese are apparently not that impressed by the film, which is not surprising really, as they havn't had the exposure to the franchise that the rest of us have, as the original trilogy was not shown in China.
In a nutshell, it now looks like SWTFA will finish somewhere at best close to Titanic, but nowhere near Avatar, which really goes to prove the staggering BO runs that Titanic and Avatar had, and if you add inflation to their figures, then SWTFA is even more distant.
To sum up SWTFA was a supercharged Usain Bolt, whereas Titanic and Avatar were Marathon winners!
It's somewhat tragic that two disappointments (at least as far as I'm concerned) from Cameron hold the top two global slots, and are unlikely to be dethroned any time soon. It's also troubling that FF7 looks like it will have a higher China gross than TFA when it's all said and done.
China should have been bigger for TFA though (FF7 made $391m there which is shocking). Disney need to open a theme park there or do something soon to boost marketing for the franchise.
What was it with the FF7 film that the Chinese people so loved about it?
It'll do them both.
To be honest, even getting to Titanic is going to be a struggle, and remember that, that film made $1.8 bill of its $2.2 bill gross way back in 1998 when ticket prices were a lot less than they are nowadays, particularly as SWTFA was also available in the expensive 3D as well.
I saw SWTFA about a week ago, and there were only 2 people in the theater, yet i remember going to see Titanic weeks after it had been released, for a Sunday afternoon viewing, and the theater was nearly full. :-O
Avatar's International run was staggering, i think that outside of the US there were at least 8 or 9 countries, where the gross was over $100 mil for the film. :-O
