Now and always a Jedi. :person_fencing:

I little SW story: I had the honor of operating the projector tht showed the first bit of SW in Australia.

As a very young and mad keen science fiction fan, I was a member of our local SF Club and we used to show old SF movies on a 16mm projector up on the wall. Anyhow, I managed to get an invite to the press conference for the first SW film that was opening in Sydney with some of the actors etc there. They had brought along part of a reel of the movie to show to the press, and when everyone sat down, lights go off and then…“does anyone know how to run a 16mm projector?” So I nervously put up my hand and said “Me!”. So I ran the projector showing that first piece of the film. (Yeah, bit of a giveway of my age range…) :sunglasses:

Some things you just don’t forget.

My former boss and one of my co-workers are giga Star Wars fans and seeing how excited they are to share that with their respective kids, it really has Disney-level magic to an extent.

It’s why I really, really dislike Rian Johnson. Star Wars is going to outlive his goblin ***, the fact that he thought he could treat Star Wars like his play thing and subvert the fan base is just… oof. What a loser.


I will say I am thrilled however that after that incident, Disney has taken a larger view, that they are the stewards of the franchise more-so than it just being another IP.

And any of the cartoons, like the Clone Wars, and the Disney + shows. After that, just Google the plots of the other six movies.
