Star Wars 35th Anniversary

Happy Anniversary "STAR WARS" ! You are 35 this year.

It seems like a lifetime ago that Star Wars was the biggest thing to happen to the movies, ever! George Lucas sure did change what movie goers expected from their sci-fi films from that point on. I never really was a sci-fi lover, but I certainly have seen all the Star Wars movies and probably most of the Star Trek episodes. Hey, that was what was on tv then, you know, back when you had to get up to change the tv channel? Lost in Space had nothing on the new fangled cinematography. Danger, Will Robinson! Wookies, storm troopers, Ewoks and Jubba the Hut are all light years ahead of you! Movies today all seem to use Star Wars as a reference, when trying to top the effects, themes and impact it had on a whole generation. Maybe it's time we dust off the VHS, sit down with our own kids and watch the original Star Wars again. Heck, I'll bet some of you have the "trilogy" box set! If you can figure out how to connect the old VHS player to that flat screen HDTV, good on ya! May the force be with you.
