It also kickstarted the exploitation of kids through merchandising.
Hollywood went seriously down hill after Star Wars' success (the triumph of
style over substance), not that that is Lucas' fault. It now only seems
concerned on capitalising on past successes instead of coming up with new ideas.
I'd say that the exploitation of kids through merchandising
had been around for a long time before then. Star Wars did
change that whole market, though, largely due to the fact
that the film's design was so effective that there was
