Star Wars at the Movies
by Stephen Danley
It has often been said that Star Wars changed the way movies were made, but it also fundamentally changed the way they were seen. Featuring stories from a diverse ensemble of fans from around the world and across generations, the Star Wars at the Movies Podcast logs personal, firsthand accounts that define the saga’s eras of theatrical exhibition and sustain a popular culture that is still thriving. The show presents an international oral history which delves into the lasting impact of seeing the movies for the first (or 100th) time, along with the theatrical localities and all of the circumstantial peculiarities encountered along the way. In addition to the whos, wheres, whens, and hows discussed in the "Feature Presentation" interviews, the podcast offers milestone retrospectives and commentary on other moviegoing topics from a long (and not so long) time ago at theaters in our own galaxy.
