May 4th - Star Wars Day!


Yep today 4th of May is Star Wars Day ... :)


Watching this as a kid in 1977 i was in awe as  this opening scene erupted across the screen in North Berwick Town cinema- aka `The Flea Pit!`

Opening scene on youtube...
Watch the Stormtroopers feet slipping on the floor!, when they made the film they spread salt to aid grip!,


Nothing had been made quite like it, and the film had everything you could imagine, size of the ships, lasers, droids, the evil of Vader and the Storm Troopers, and a fantastic fighter sequence finale... amazing scenery too and great soundtrack...






Big bro had all the original magazines that covered Episodes 1 to 3 (Star Wars was episode IV)
The second generation films of the first 3 episodes never had that same magic and for many people are not really related with all the CGI etc...


Politics never get mentioned on the blog, but with the Elections this Thursday i have to post this lol....


Also, never underestimate the power of the `Fatside`...  ;)


More soon...
