Quote of the Week
What the hell is nostalgia doing in a science-fiction film? With the whole universe and all the future to play in, Lucas took his marvelous toys and crawled under the fringed cloth on the parlor table, back into a nice safe hideyhole, along with Flash Gordon and the Cowardly Lion and Luck Skywalker and the Flying Aces and the Hitler Jugend. If there’s a message there, I don’t think I want to hear it.
--Ursula K. Le Guin, repr. in Dancing at the Edge of the World (1989). “Close Encounters, Star Wars, and the Tertium Quid,” Future, Aug. 1978
