How Star Wars Revolutionized Sound

 What was the effect of Star Wars on the movie industry? How did it affect the audience at this time? What were the long term historical trends that Star Wars set into motion after this?

With the major success of Star Wars, people were more curious in surround sound systems. The audience was blown away by the use of sound in the film and wanted more.
