Tonight Caroline, Peter and I will be at the Fourth World Comics Star Wars showing thanks to the lovely people at Fourth World. It will be nice to see the film with a rather enthusiastic crowd. I have managed to stay pretty much spoiler free so I have little idea what I am walking into other than it says Star Wars on the sign.<\/p>\n
Star Wars has been a touchstone for me for many years now. Since I saw it on Memorial Day weekend back in 1977 in fact. <\/p>\n
I can honestly say that I have seen that film more than I have seen any other film in my life thanks to the summer of 1978 and a dollar theater I could walk to from my house. <\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t expect back then to have the number of adventures I have had due to that film.<\/p>\n
I think if I went back and told myself that I would meet the cast over the years I would not believe myself or that I would work on both Star Wars fiction and non-fiction at Del Rey\/Ballantine or that I would make so many friends over the film including a number of them that worked on the films. <\/p>\n
But all of those things have happened and more. <\/p>\n
I am looking forward to seeing what is next for Star Wars tonight. And even if it is not my cuppa, I still have the original film that started it all and still makes me smile.<\/p>\n
I am grateful to George Lucas for creating Star Wars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
