Line 37: The Forth programming language was used in the production of ''[[Star Wars (film)\|Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope]]''.{{citation needed\|date=July 2024}} Specifically, it was used to control the [[Dykstraflex]] motion control system, which was created by [[John Dykstra]] and his team at [[Industrial Light & Magic]]. This system was instrumental in creating the complex and precise camera movements required for the space battle scenes and the trench run sequences on the [[Death Star]]. The Dykstraflex system allowed for the pre-programming of camera movements, which could then be repeated exactly for multiple takes. This was crucial for combining live-action footage with model shots and other visual effects. Forth was chosen for its efficiency and its ability to handle real-time processing required for these intricate tasks. == History ==
