How About Them Apples...
How about these ideas:
- First, considering Ronald Reagan was actor of the 1930s and 1940s, the Strategic Defense Intiative (SDI) would probably be named after one of the old serials of a "more innocent time" (e.g. "Buck Rogers" or "Flash Gordon")
-Second, you would not see the creation of the series Battlestar Galactica (ABC-TV), Buck Rogers In the 25th Century (NBC-TV), or Disney's film The Black Hole . All of which were created to cash in on the "Star Wars phenomena". For Disney this is especially important since the movie The Black Hole flopped so badly at the box-office it nearly bankrupted the live-action film department of Disney Studios before Michael Eisner came in 1983. For Lorne Greene, this important because the series destroyed any credibility the actor had in the industry (especially after Galactica 1980 ). For Dirk Benedict, "aka Faceman/ Starbuck", the Canadian actor wouldn't have had the chance to meet Stephen J. Cannell for for the creation of The A-Team (NBC-TV) .
-Third, Bill Murray would have had to stay on Saturday Night Live while he waits for a big hit idea. Unfortunately his "Lounge Club Singer" act wouldn't have been as successful with either "Jaws" or "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". Dan Akroyd may suddenly take the Murray roles in Lost In Translation and Charlie's Angels ....
