Star Wars is 30 Years Old
javipas writes "On May 25th, 1977 the first film of the Star Wars Saga was released to theaters. Thirty years later, and celebrations are being held all around the globe. Wired has a series of articles entitled The Empire at 30, and many fans are posting about this particular birthday. For example, you can see the best 30 clips made by fans to celebrate this anniversary. The BBC is chronicling the journey of one man who had never seen Star Wars before. IGN has a rundown on some of the highlights of the Celebration convention, running this weekend."
Well had it been 30 years later and your mom saw Episode 1 she would have miscarried you.. :-)
> and like most of its fan base...still a virgin....
Dude, Lucas started groping up Star Wars when he threw in the Ewoks. After the prequel trilogy, Star Wars is about as much used goods as Michael Jordan's shoes after a game.
Done with slashdot, done with nerds, getting a life.
Star Wars left my consciousness for about 5 minutes when this post came around. Thanks George Lucas for keeping me plugged in to your fake world for the rest of your life (and hopefully beyond if your production company has anything to say about it). If we start a rumor that Start Wars is just an incestuous mega-cult akin to Scientology, do you think we can convert any of the believers? Or will it just make their resolve stronger... Either way, you can't win. When's the next Star Wars pez dispenser due for release? Probably around the time of the 6 1/2 year anniversary of the last day of pre-production on "Clone Wars"...
