WI: No Star Wars

Isn't like a considerable amount of modern cinema...by that i mean graphics especially, undone by no star wars.

I mean, ILM and Pixar alone are amazing losses. Yes, they could be replaced, but it would take a long long time.
 
Does this slow the development of special effects at all? One of the big things about Star Wars was that it was a revolutionary leap in special effects. For a movie made in the mid-1970s, it is amazing how well the effects still stand up.
That's a point, SFX will almost certainly be less advanced.

The problem is that Phase II production was shut down November 11 some five days before Close Encounters of the Third Kind even hit theaters
Yeah, but there would have been a load of advertising up as well, so that might have changed their minds.
