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."

Why is it that people get so defensive about the fact that they have sex? I mean, congratulations, dude. You've managed to complete your default bodily programming. You win. I guess.
Slashdot - where whining about luck is the new way to make the world you want.
Wonder what would have happened had it been episodes 1 - 3 instead the 4 - 6 you borught her too.
Episode 1: she just wants to be friends
Episode 2: She will now only hang out with you in a group setting
Episode 3: Mace + Restraining order
Luke!
Carrie!
If brevity is the soul of wit, then how does one explain Twitter?
Yeah, but this is Slashdot. Few slashdotters are familiar with such esoteric concepts as girls. Fewer still are familiar with how girls are shaped.
This is not the specialized knowledge you are looking for...

Now Star Trek: TNG -- that is like Guiness. Great at any time! Always aged to perfection!\\
yes, exactly the same thing...every.single.week. Cold and bitter.

So, you took your divorce lawyer to the Phantom Menace?
30 years - how many parsecs is that?
It's true I tell you, feller at work's next door neighbour read it in the paper.
Except it's Dr. Zaius.
You may hand in your geek card at the door.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
And the way Lucas appears to be milking it, it sounds like the mourners will be able to catch it on the way home from your funerals.

Lego Star Wars to come back with all six movies in one game
Caught the Lego story on Digg today. Nice timing. I remember the first time Star Wars was re-released to theaters. My brother got caught running a red light on the way to the Uptown. I told him that the force was not with him. He didn't think it was very funny, especially when the cop found out he didn't have his license with him...
Is there heaven? Is there Hell? Is that a Tuna Melt I smell?-Primus
Next time, just do not.
As a gay man who is excitedly anticipating his time eating dicks in hell I would like to file an official complaint that I would have to share the dicks to be eaten with that sloth fat ass Lucas. That Porker? would undoubtedly take more than his fair share of cock.

I'd say something witty here, but I'm not that bright.
I heard an ad on XM Radio the other day about the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars. It wished Star Wars fans well with a phrase sure to draw their ire: "Live long and prosper."

> First of all, Hand was presented the obvious love interest for Leia,
No offence, dude, but Carrie Fischer was hot enough in the late '70s that NOBODY would have thought that the hand-solo was her primary sexual outlet.
I'll bet she could've even gotten a rise out of that pansy droid, '3PO.
Do daemons dream of electric sleep()?
When 30 years old you reach, look as good you will not!
C3PO is Luke's mother, and the stormtroopers are all Boba Fett's natural children. (He's an inspiration to us all.) Obi-Wan Kenobi thinks all astromech droids look alike (thus demonstrating a soft bigotry against mechanical beings). Darth Vader was incredibly angsty and annoying as a teenager. ("KHOOOOH... HSSSS... I don't wanna clean my room! KHOOOOH... HSSSS... You can't make me!") Killing a hundred sand people doesn't make you a bad person, because they look like mummies, even their children. The emperor's complexion has actually improved with age, IMO. Either that, or in his old age, he wanted a more natural look and stopped getting Botox.
I could tell you more, but I don't want to completely ruin it for you.
