A Long Time Ago ....

How did i miss this one?
Old news for the diehards out there, but still worth the reflection, as George Lucas's feature, STAR WARS celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. was it really that long ago? some stories are just timeless. Could we be saying the same things about Lord of the Rings or the Matrix trilogy in 30 years ..... I think not. STAR WARS has that universal quality to appeal to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Unless your Peter Fox hehe :) get well soon old timer. 2 UNI projects to go :) 5 more days. im a zombie in the spiderhole, with the heater on. cya all soon.

'Star Wars' 30th anniversary
In the official souvenir program for "Star Wars," George Lucas says of his most famous creation: "It's always been what you might call a good idea in search of a story." One that 30 years later, the industry seems to have taken to heart.

"George never set out to reform or change Hollywood," says Steve Sansweet, Lucasfilm's official "Star Wars" ambassador. "He has invested in what he thought was necessary to make the kind of movies that he wanted to make."

HAHA! @ Miguel.
i think i saw Empire Strikes back first, vividly remember the snow beasty getting Luke, and those ewoks! then its been all down hill from there hehe.

Alec will remember this ... someone once said to us, Lucas is the only idiot in the film world who can get away with screen wipes in film. (by screen wipe i mean wiping the screen of the current scene to transition to another scene. classic 70s)

only if the good ol days would return.
