User Interfaces

This is a bit of a side-topic (and maybe not the best place for a graded comment, for what it's worth), but this post points out just how imaginative Lucas had to be about technology in 1977.  Consider this:

"Star Wars: A New Hope hit theaters in 1977—the same year that Apple moved from a garage to a real office building and Microsoft hired its first official employees. And the fact that it came out as consumer computers were truly hitting the mainstream shows."

So a gaming interface designer made a super-cut of every time a character interfaces with a machine. Not so much about "hero," but interesting to consider that the movie was imagining technology at a time when he home computer was still many years off.
