Star Wars Celebration

[IngloriousBasterd]

If you haven't already Pugster, watch The Mandalorian series - I thought Bobba Fett was a dud.

They announced Season 3 of Mando Saturday!!!

Have not watched Obi Wan yet, but Bobba is interesting. Think I ran out of episodes, but I need to look again.

Obiwan is pretty damn good. They bring to life some of the characters from the Clone Wars series. Not a huge fan of the cartoons but I watched them to know the stories

Star Wars : A New Hope had its theatrical release Memorial Day weekend May 25, 1977. I remember coming home from a family vacation that summer, and my oldest sister had this poster on her wall. She told my brother and I how cool this movie was! Since she was already super cool with her disco dancing satin jacket and driving a 1976 Camaro (burgandy red with a white vinyl top) we took her advice! We saw Star Wars 3 times that summer before school started , and my Star Trek world ( "Captain Kirk" ) was galactically changed forever.

That’s awesome. Great story. I still have the 3 VHS tape set of the pre edited by George Lucas Episodes 4-6 that my parents use to show me. Then when I was a freshman in High School Phantom Menace came out and I went on opening day. Seeing everyone dressed up and really into it changed me forever.

Yep, it was a dud until the Mandalorian showed up.

When Star Wars came out, me and my friends would skip school to go see it. I don't remember now, but guessing saw it maybe 6-7 times while it was still in the theaters. Close Encounters also premiered in 1977, and Alien premiered in 1979. These three movies really redefined the sci-fi genre.

When I watch the original in its revised state, all the changes stand out to me and sometimes it is so subtle I couldn’t tell you why, but it triggers my brain’s memory bank of my 7 year old self.
