We are old... I mean Star Wars released 30 years ago today


Star Wars turns 30

By Stephen Fenech

FIRE up your light-sabre and prepare for hyperspace - Star Wars is 30.

And fans may be the ones getting the birthday present, with news of a "huge" announcement by creator George Lucas - rumoured to be a new Star Wars movie - expected in Los Angeles.

Australia's Star Wars appreciation society Star Walking Inc member Chris Brennan, in LA for the official convention celebration, said the rumour sweeping the venue is that Lucas will announce a new movie or movies set before the recent prequels at the time of Old Republic, when the Jedi regained control of the galaxy. Test your Star Wars knowledge here.

Brennan said: "He did make a slip in an interview a couple of weeks ago and say something about a forthcoming movie. The reporter went back to him and said, 'Did you say movie?'

"George said no, he didn't say that, and tried to cover it up."

Lucas has already confirmed a Star Wars live action TV series will be filmed in Australia from next year and will be set between the recent Episode III and the original 1977 Star Wars film, which is Episode IV.

Despite opening in just 32 theatres across the US on May 25, 1977, the original Star Wars is the second highest grossing film of all time behind Titanic.

ANOTHER movie?

What the heck?  A sequel to the prequels?  No wait, that would just be the original Star Wars.

A pre-prequel?  A post sequel?  Maybe a prequel to the final sequal thus being a sequal to the second sequel?

I actually DO remember seeing the movie in 1977.  My dad, my uncle Jeff, I think my uncle Brian and me.  The only time I ever went to a movie with my uncles Jeff or Brian.

I'm thinking it's an indication my Dad musta been cool back in the 70's and actually WANTED to see this movie so he had to lug his kid along with the guys to go see it.  My Dad was never a movie guy when I was a teenager or after.

We saw it at the Spring Mall theater where my Grandma used to take me to see the Herbie movies.  Now it's gone.  Torn down and replaced with a parking lot hmm.gif
