So today is the 30th anniversary of Star Wars' initial release. Big Star Wars Celebration IV is going on in LA for the next few days. Some website
that could be a CGI animated fan-film is supposed to launch today http://talesofthenewrepublic.com/
Luke and Wedge
Seems to take its design cues from some statues made by Gentle Giant LTD.

Plus on Sunday there's going to be something on http://www.starwars.com probably about the new CGI animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars full blown series that's going to come out next year.
Monday the History Channel is doing a special called "Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed" that looks into the worldwide myths and traditions that inspired
Star Wars. It airs at like 9PM.
Awesome weekend of geekery for me!

I was a bit older. My uncle worked at the 86th Theatre when ESB opened. I got to go to NYC premiere. We all dressed up as our favorite characters ,at
the time, I loved Chewbacca, now its Vader. I had my mom make a Chewie costume for me......
CAN YOU SAY STAR WARS MARATHON TONIGHT!

Im not 30 yet, so I didnt see them when they first came out. I must have seen one of them in the theater though, because I can remember finding one
of my Star Wars figures in the back yard all mangled because my dad had run it over with the lawnmower. I also had one of those speeder things that
Luke and Leia rode in that forest. If you pressed a button on the back of it parts would fly off of it.

I was one when ESB came out, but my older cousin introduced me. I used to play the Atari game at his house, played with his figures. Rented the
movies. Then I got back into when I was 12 or 13 after finding some novels in Sam's Club. It's been an integral part of my life ever since. I was so
stoked in '97 when the Special Editions were released in the theater. When to ANH with my dad, ESB with some friends, and ROTJ with my dad. I went to
see ROTS for the third time with him when I went to visit in summer '05. I really enjoy going to see sci-fi flicks with my pops.
He's a Trek fan though. Not a Trekkie, but he likes the old school show.
I just finished watching ANH 20 minutes ago... it's such a great flick. G4TV is having a 2 hour special live from Star Wars Celebration IV at 7 pm
Eastern.
