Tomorrow, the 19th of February 2008, is my 30th anniversary for seeing the original "Star Wars" film! Yes, the film is *that* old and I'm even *older*. Eeek.I'm amazed that it was 30 years ago that my brother, Peter, took me to the lovely old Regent cinema in Great Yarmouth on a Sunday afternoon to see the newly released space blockbuster. What an amazing experience that was though! The excitement of queing up, getting a 'Star Wars' baseball cap (a cheap and nasty piece of tat is was though!) jaw-dropping visuals, cheering, and dropping my ice cream in the cinema. I guess it was a life changing/creating moment. Three decades on and I'm still a film geek!
Have a look here and here about the original release.
So anyway, Carla and I are going to watch the original cut of the film on DVD, and eat some cake to celebrate! I may take a photo of this if I get around to it. I know it wont be anywhere near as good as the cake that Craig and the rest of the 'Star Wars' fan group had at their recent 30th anniversary get together (see picture) but hey, it will taste nice: Sainsbury's cakes usually do!
