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?
To fully immerse his audience into his films, George Lucas adopted the recently introduced Dolby Stereo surround sound system. Included in this technology, was noise reduction. 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. As theaters upgraded, it was a significant improvement. Star Wars was able to push upgrades to theaters across the nation. This was since cinemas were still sticking with audio technology that hasn't been changed much since the early days of the talkies.
