Many efforts produced in the science fiction genre (particularly in filming) can now be seen to draw heavy influence and inspiration from the original "Star Wars" trilogy, as well as the magnitude of sequels, spin-offs, series, games, and texts that it spawned. Sounds, visuals, and even the iconic score of the films have become integral components in American society. The film helped launch the science fiction boom of the late 1970s and early 1980s, making science fiction films a blockbuster genre. This impact also made it a prime target for parody works and homages, with popular examples including "Spaceballs", "Family Guy"s "Blue Harvest" special, Seth Green's "", and Lucas's self-proclaimed favorite parody, "Hardware Wars" by Ernie Fosselius.
