Watch Siskel and Ebert Defend 'Star Wars' in 1983

Host Ted Koppel’s helmet hair is epic in this 1983 clip we spotted on io9. He chats with film critic John Simon, who hated the George Lucas classic, Star Wars — calling it “too violent and extravagant” and “completely dehumanizing.” Simon also seems to hate kids. Ebert chimes in and calls him “old at heart.”
