Movies
Star wars was one of the most popular movies ever made it created its own universe. Every sci-fi movie that came after it had to compete with it but none came close and star wars was king of sci-fi for years to come. Heated arguments were sparked over the movie and whole stadiums were bought out to host conventions just in the honor of the movie and anyone that even dared say it was not the best sci-fi movie ever made basically condemned there selves. It wasn’t till 2009 almost twenty years later that a movie came out that actually rivaled it in gross sales and popularity the movies name was avatar. The movie was about a group of humans that were trying to harvest a planet of a rare mineral. The problem was there is an indigenous race of aliens that inhabited the planet, the humans way of trying to persuade the race of aliens was to create a clone of the aliens that could be controlled remotely by humans. This movie ended up being the highest grossing film in the world it destroyed all six of the star wars previous records. But there is still some speculation that avatar could not come anywhere close to a classic like star wars they may in fact be right but avatar itself is now becoming a legend doing the same thing star wars did years ago. Nobody wants the darth vader costume for Halloween anymore everyone wants to dress up as one of the characters from avatar.
