I'm the G-word.
No, not gay. Or Goofy. (well, maybe goofy). Or Gargantuan. What I am, however, is..a GEEK.
And I love it!
Thirty-five years ago today, a movie was released that would change the lives of millions. Myself included. Who knew that a farm boy, an old man, an illegal trader, and a princess would leave a legacy that would last decades. Oh, and don't forget the robots.
Do you remember the first time you watched Star Wars?
I do. I was about five years old. My father had brought my sister and I to Washington State, from Tennessee, to visit my grandparents. He took us to see Star Wars in the old theater that he used to frequent when he was a kid. I don't remember the name, and I'm sure it's gone now. But I do remember it had balconies.
I am such a huge Star Wars geek. Not the new movies -- I'm too much of a purist to like all the fancy graphics and different actors. But I do appreciate them. Seeing the backstories of the characters I had loved all my life... all of that history finally making sense to me... I do appreciate them.
But say they are my favories?? Well, I'd rather kiss a wookie!
May the force be with you!!
