In 1977 a little science fiction film called "Star Wars" changed everything, becoming not only a box-office smash but an international cultural phenomenon that prevails to this day.
But before that fateful summer, what was going on in America. What were things like even just a year before there was a Star Wars?
Cole Houston and Eddie Medina explore the Bicentenial year of the United States with a look at popular culture of the day back when George Lucas and company were about to begin principle photography on the little movie that could. From movies and music to toys and even, enexpectedly, fast food, everything that was in '76 would seemingly change the following year. Vic Medina joins the exploration of this virtual time capsule of the year before the year that made that Galaxy Far, Far Away world famous.
