Happy Star Wars Day!

It was 30 years ago today and…
When (The Award Winning) Andy Ravenwood and Lactose reminded me today and I suddenly felt the need to watch the original films again. It’s been a while, and I wasn’t sure if I’d re-capture any of the awe and joy I experience when I saw the first one in 1977 at the age of 7.
But you know what - it was great. All of the funny little details, the humour, the aliens, the vast spaceships, the heros who you really care for - they were all still there. After the rather tedious episodes 1, 2 and 3 - that largely left me cold, the great team spirt built up between Luke, Leia, Han (or Sam Holo as he was recently refered to), Chewy, C3PO and R2 - it was still genuinely fun and exciting to watch.
Happy Star Wars day!
