In case anyone wasn't aware, today is the 40th anniversary of the release of the first film in the biggest science fiction film series of all time, one of the biggest film series of all time period. One this day in 1977, Star Wars (later dubbed Episode IV: A New Hope) had its theatrical release in US cinemas. It's hard to overstate the importance of this film, the fact that the franchise is still making billions at the box office with new movies even 40 years after the first film was released says more than any retrospective or analysis ever could.
So Happy Birthday Star Wars. I made you cake, but an Ewok ate it.
Those Ewoks . . . [grumbles a bit about missing cake again] Happy Birthday, and many more.
The original and the best!
Happy 40th to one of the biggest FANTASY films of all time. Science Fiction it ain’t. π
Tru dat.
@Worf- Let’s not start that again.
It is one of the perenial discussions of our time. π Hehehehehe…
