Here is an example of an insect inspired prop that does produce the correct "visceral" responses for the application.
Can you identify the visceral triggers?

That's the question I have always wondered about. What was it about Star Wars 1977 that made it so much better than anything that went before or came after it? Why couldn't George pull it off a sacond time? What changed?
Actually he did pull it off a second time, in a way, with Raiders of the Lost Ark. It's about mould-breaking. SW broke the mould for SF. And Raiders in a more modest way broke the mould for adventure. You can't break the mould for SF a second time while working within the SW universe. The next revolution in film SF was Scott's work, and there hasn't really been another since then. These mouldbreaking moments are rare things. You see the pattern right through the arts. Picasso never broke through again after cubism; he remained forever influenced by his greatest discovery. Same with Lucas. Same with Giger, the list's endless.
