I think this is very open to debate. How many people in the world have seen Star Wars? I would argue that no book short of the Bible has had a higher impact.

- bluGill 5y agoA ton of cheap plastic light sabers at birthday parties. And millions of Yoda one-liners all over.
- Applejinx 5y ago"Buck Rogers is a science fiction (and later, particularly space opera) character created by Philip Francis Nowlan in the novella Armageddon 2419 A.D., subsequently appearing in multiple media". Star Wars is basically that, as a movie, tuned and optimized. It's a complicated question, but I think it's quite possible Star Wars would not and could not exist in the absence of the original, pre-Star-Wars, novella. Which became all sorts of things such as comic strips… but started as a book.
