Today Star Wars turns 30. May 25,1977 the world of movie making and pop culture changed. My memory of Star Wars was seeing it at the old Glenwood theater in Overland Park with my folks. I don't remember much except going home and suddenly all of the Hot Wheels became secondary and Star Wars toys became my primary means of play. The opening scene of the Star Destroyer chasing the Rebel ship, the stormtroopers busting through the door and the Luke and Leia swinging across the chasm being shot at by Stormtroopers were the things I remember most. I was hooked.
Is Star Wars done? Nope. With a new animated Clone Wars series coming, there will be plenty of opportunities to get future children addicted to the Star Wars galaxy.
Check out the "Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed" on the History Channel this coming Monday.
