just 'Star Wars'
was watching the extras/docs for 'Solo' other night and one doc was about Lawrence Kasden and it had his son (who co wrote Solo) talking about his dad and Lucas when he visited the set and he said when they got together and talked he could see they were like 'old school Star Wars' focusing purely on that 1st film (and the 2 sequels) and how Solo would relate to them ..whereas he would think about all of SW the whole thing all the films and the EU etc...
it got me thinking about the OT specifically the 1st film (called 'Star Wars'..not 'Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope') and thinking about how it compared to Lucas' previous movies THX and American Graffiti and was like the 3rd 'small' movie following those and was really a rift on the 30s SF cliffhanger serials and other 30s/40s stuff like Casablanca (Solo/Cantina/Bogart etc), Wizard of Oz (chewie/3po), Metropolis (3po), Adventures of Robin Hood (lightsabre duels, leia/maid marian) WW2 movies (all the space battles), LOTR and even Star Trek.. and of course all the Kurosawa and Joseph Campbell stuff scholars have dissected it all ways from sunday (unlike today when theres literal sequels and remakes of popular stuff from decades ago, Lucas had to rift on it after he was denied the rights to remake Flash Gordon..similar to Spielberg doing Raiders after not getting Bond)
and how really it was like a big experimental movie - can this mash up of all this stuff Lucas grew up on work? and how it really shouldve been a one time deal only but the outrageous ridiculous success caused all the sequels and everything that followed and Lucas became consumed with Star Wars (and then Indy)
