A long time ago….a certain science fiction/fantasy film set my imagination on fire, dared me to dream big and changed the way the world has made and watched movies ever since.
“Star Wars” celebrates its 40th anniversary today. I still remember waiting in line to see it with my big brother and his friend at the University Twin Cinema across from Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, Louisiana in 1977. I had no idea how the film would influence and shape my life when I settled into my seat for the evening feature. My life would never be the same.
Thank you, Mr. Lucas, for setting us on that journey forty years ago into a galaxy far, far away.

40 years. Hard to believe. And yes, Star Wars moved me, too.

Thanks for your comment, Mike. Movies like Star Wars aren’t just films, they’re a part of the history of our lives; the memories of seeing them with the people we love, the friends we had, etc. And sometimes they can actually shape who we are or will become, especially when we are young and impressionable like we were (I was) back then.
