Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk - October 1, 1977

Oct 1, 2021

Star Wars was hot in 1977, but was it funky enough? Fortunately all doubt was laid to rest when Meco released "Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk" on October 1 of that year, making sure that disco and sci-fi would forever go hand-in-hand.

Follow Sci-Fi 5 for your daily dose of science-fiction history.
