Star Wars Celebrates 30 Years

The other night we were watching a special on the History channel about Star Wars. I can’t believe it’s been 30 years since it began. I remember being 10 years old and seeing it down at the beach. We were on a weekly vacation in Long Beach Island, and we were staying down the road from the movie theater. We walked over to see it, and I fell in love with R2D2. Who knew 30 years later there would be six episodes and it would have turned into a huge phenomenon. Seriously, 30 years have passed all ready?

What was neat on the special was they were talking about how things like history and religion were worked into the story line. They made comparisons to different things. I’m sure they’ll replay the show through out the month, and if you get the chance, it’s interesting watching.
