George Lucas tells James Cameron why he created Star Wars and why it’s not science fiction. [E01S02 of James Cameron’s Story of Science Fiction]

“One of the reasons why I made Star Wars is it’s made for 12-year-olds. It appeals to everybody but it was still made for 12-year-olds. And I tell people: don’t underestimate 12-year-olds. They’re smarter than the rest of us. They get stuff much faster than you do. And the whole point was to allow them to think outside the box…”

James: “You single-handedly revolutionized science fiction and pop culture with Star Wars in 1977 because it had been three decades of downer stuff—dystopian stuff, apocalyptic stuff—and science fiction was making less and less money every year. And all of a sudden you came along with another vision: one of wonder and hope and empowerment and… boom!”

“Star Wars is a space opera. It’s not science fiction. Because it’s really just one of those soap operas, only in space.”
