It is Star Wars Day! I would not go to Disney Hollywood Studios (or whatever it is called this week) today on a bet. Unless I had a VIP pass with a place to go hide when the crowds get overwhelming.<\/p>\n
Star Wars had been a touchstone for me since I first saw the film that opening weekend back in 1977. Because of that film I have friends that I would have met otherwise. I worked at Del Rey on Star Wars books that only existed because of that film. <\/p>\n
Star Wars is a cultural phenomenon that proves that we, as a planet, can get long. You can find Star Wars fans all over the world. The conventions and the Star Wars days at the Disney parks prove that. The number of languages I heard spoke when I just happened to be in the park that day was amazing. However no one spoke Bocce.<\/p>\n
I have watch as the next two generations discover Star Wars and each group has made it their own.<\/p>\n
Caroline feels like the Force Awakens is her New Hope. That is her Star Wars. Sort of how you tend to love your first Doctor in Doctor Who.<\/p>\n
In a couple of weeks Solo: A Star Wars Story will be released. Fans can\u2019t seem to decide how they feel about it. Personally my butt will be in a seat and I will be watching it hoping for a good origin story. <\/p>\n
I will always remember that first viewing of Star Wars back in 1977. It was on the large screen at what was the Lefont Tara but I think another company was running it at the time. I bought the book they had for sale and poured over it to the point that it fell apart. We, as a family, embraced the film and all that followed.<\/p>\n
I am grateful that I have Star Wars in my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
