30 years ago a breathless 6 year was taken by his dad to see the latest film from Hollywood, good guys in egg shaped helmets were duly stomped into the ground by efficient troops, a woman with danish pastries on her head puts something in a bleepy thing on wheels,I sat there open mouthed transfixed and I was hooked and still am.

To George Lucas I say thanks for the entertainment over the years.

To all jedi, Sith, yodas and kids/fans of all ages please join me in saying..

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

STAR WARS

    May the Force Be With You! One of our neighbours was the props man at the British film studios where it was made and took lots of the 'aliens' home for his and my kids to play with after filming finished! We also learnt that the stormtroopers' costumes were made from bits of vacuum sweeper hose etc. Almost a 'Blue Peter' job!

    (Blue Peter is a long-running BBCTV children's programme where they famously show kids how to make things out of old plastic washing up bottles etc)

          Hmm am an imperial supporter, I even have an imperial tattoo!, they just look cooler.

          Lucas is now working on indiana jones, (yawn, 60+yr old actor thinking he can beat Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow?- I think not.)

          He is also working on a TV series and some animation for Star Wars, - unknown as yet, and I ain't that much of a geek to want to research it on fan/obsesive websites.

            I actually really liked the way storm troopers would use standard military tactics so badly " quick troopers . drop and play dead before we REALLY get hit".
            don't think we need any more indiana jones movies . the last ones weren't all that good and btw harrison ford is a cranky old fucker . He was on Rove Live ( a tv show in australia ) and was nothing less than an asshole about his role is star wars. talk about forgetting where you came from.
            So fuck you Harrison Ford and your lame aged Colista fucktard rooting ass!
