"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..."
33 years ago today, Star Wars opened in theaters. If you're too young to remember when it was originally released, you cannot fathom the impact this movie had on everyone! Sure it was a traditional (sort of) good guys vs. bad guys story. The movies stressed the self-destructive nature of anger and hate. But my, oh my the special effects were something to behold. Fights with light sabers, the Millennium Falcon jumping to hyper drive, and all the robots, droids, Jawas, the Wookiee..well, surely most of you have seen it at least once. And who can forget the first time you heard Darth Vader...the sound is still recognizable today.
George Lucas' impact on movie making was decisive and phenomenal...he transported us to another time and space in grand fashion. Thanks George! May the force be with you!
