I'm mad at George Lucas.
I'm mad because he begins each of his Star Wars films with
these ten words: "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..." The world first saw those words (taken, of course, from
the opening often used for fairy tales) in 1977-and they
changed everything. Up until that point, science fiction
had been making slow but steady progress toward
respectability in the public consciousness.
