Has Star Wars’ Relentless Retconning Hurt Its Legacy? | CineFix Top 100

We head to a galaxy far far away to discuss a little space opera that changed the way we make movies, talk about movies, and build franchises out of those movies. George Lucas’ Star Wars stormed onto the scene in 1977 and was relentlessly retconned as they moved to franchise the biggest original IP of all time. Star Wars is inescapable now, but Clint, Cal and Alex try to dissect the movie it was while also keeping in mind all the tinkering, changes, sequels and spinoffs that have followed. How do you talk about a movie that has been discussed, analyzed, and iterated on for nearly fifty years? As a film that has bled into every part of our subconscious, right down to the sound design, is it possible that this doesn’t crack the top 10? Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm is busy trying to stamp out the pesky panel rebellions against its absolute power over the list… CineFix Top 100 is produced by Tayo Oyekan, with Director of Photography, Jamie Parslow and Technical Producer, Marhyan Franzen.
