Tues. May 4, 2021 – May the Fourth be with you….

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Day

I remember two of my buddies talking me into go seeing Star Wars at the
Houston Galleria Cinema in 1977. We had to wait in line for several
hours around the ice skating rink before we got into one of the four
huge theaters (well over 1,000 seats each). The movie was cool. Super
cool. I went back in a couple of weeks and saw it again. Now it looks
dated but that is ok because they so upped the game in follow-on movies.

And I still think that “The Empire Strikes Back” is the best of the
bunch. Why yes, “Paint It Black” by the Rolling Stones is one of my
favorite songs. Why do you ask ?

"Silent Running" was awesome until you thought about it.

I haven't seen them. I saw Episode One, which I considered okay,
and then I saw the trailer for Episode Two and I said, "Oh,
crumbs, that's how he's going to be drawn to the Dark Side, by
twoo wuve. What fools these mortals be."

And I still think that The Empire Strikes Back is the best of the
bunch.

The Imperial March has lyrics, you know. They begin,

"We are the Empire, we're big and we're mean;
We are Darth Vader's destruction machine."

I forget who wrote them.

I would have been fine with the twoo wuve, the trouble is that Lucas
didn't actually manage to sell it.
