I always remember watching the original Star Wars Trilogy when I was younger.
Every one of my friends watched it too.
At the time I was maybe only 5 or 6 years old so obviously I wished that I too could travel to a galaxy far, far away and be involved in all the excitement that was going on in space! Oh boy did i wish I had a light-saber! That would be so cool swinging it about and impressing my pals with the zwoosh zwoosh noise it made.
Even at school you'd hear Star Wars references.
When the fat kid was annoying other kids you'd hear him being called "Jabba The Hutt" not "Fat Boy" but Jabba.
Excellent!!! Even now Star Wars is still as big, if not bigger than it is today.
You can see the queues outside the cinema when the latest film gets released.
All the dads with their kids, the dads probably more exited it has to be said, waiting in anticipation of what they are about to witness.
All wishing they had a real light-saber and x-wing fighters to travel in as they go for a visit to their pals the Ewoks! The dreams are still as alive today as they were 30 years ago.
These films are superb entertainment and something the whole family can enjoy and in my opinion the films in the original trilogy are by far the best and to think they were made way before the days of the computer generated special effects of today.
I remember all this like it was yesterday! Long live Star Wars.
May the force be with you!
