George Lucas created Star Wars in the 1970s, drawing inspiration from Flash Gordon and other sci-fi and western stories of his childhood. He developed the concept over many years while in college and making other films. When Star Wars was released in 1977, it was an instant success with both sci-fi fans and general audiences, though Hollywood executives were skeptical. The film spawned a pop culture phenomenon, but little Star Wars material was produced in the 1980s as it became more of a cult classic. The 1999 prequel The Phantom Menace reignited widespread interest in the franchise.

The counterculture and reform movements
The counterculture movement began in the late 1950s and early 1960s as a reaction against the conservative 1950s and the threat of nuclear war. Led by the Beat Generation in New York and San Francisco, the counterculture rejected materialism and experimented with jazz, drugs, sex, and Eastern religions through literary works like Howl by Allen Ginsberg and On the Road by Jack Kerouac. The movement influenced psychedelic art and music in the 1960s, with LSD being promoted by figures like Timothy Leary before being made illegal in 1966. By the late 1960s, the counterculture had grown to include rock music and anti-war protests, but began to decline with drug overdoses and
Slasher and body horror
The 1980s saw advancements in special effects technology that allowed filmmakers to depict unprecedented levels of graphic gore and violence in horror movies.

While these hypermasculine characters were strong and intelligent, the document notes they were curiously devoid of sexuality, highlighting tensions between physical prowess and intimacy.
James Bond
