Okay, so I went to youtube & found the clip...

GOOD GOLLY GRACIOUS.

Again, I must admit how much I love having my own office! As I watched the travesty unfold before me, I nearly slipped off my chair screeching when Redd Foxx's giant holographic Obi face appeared in the planetary skyline.

If you enjoy seeing a beloved classic set to the tune of the most sh*ttiest disco music ever, you hit the jackpot. If you have found yourself wondering what Han Solo would look like sporting a cheap pair of aviator glasses, then it's your lucky day. And if pseudo-Storm Troopers in white vinyl go-go boots is all that you've ever wished for, then your ship has really come in.

Thank you, mousepod. That clip made my day!! :D :snap:

Happy Birthday Star Wars! :cheers:

I was two weeks old when it came out, and living in Israel. My family story on this (which you may have heard already, my apologies) is that it wasn't in Israel for a while. Before it showed up there, my family was already moving to the US. My dad came over to get a job in order to procure visas for my mom and I (my mom isn't a US citizen). He finally saw Star Wars months after it came out and was blown away. When my mom and I finally did come over, one of the first things he did was take my mom to see it. The movie supposedly flopped in Israel.

For my own part, whenever it was on TV, we always watched it. It was something that's always been around. I couldn't imagine a world without it AND the sequels. They're a part of my childhood, and a part of my hardwired fantasies.

Whatever awful things happened afterward, I'll always be grateful for the Trilogy, and the wonder I still feel when watching it for the billionth time.

Happy birthday to Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, Threepio, Artoo, Obi-Wan, and Vader...you're still the gold standard, and we still love you.

The only movie my Dad ever went to see with me in a theatre.

I never saw the original version of the movie on an INDOOR big screen - only saw it at the drive in.

Our movie theatre only had one screen, they've now walled off the balcony and made it two. It took a good year I think for it to make it to our town.

It was the first movie I drove to on my own. Took a bunch of friends in my car, right after I got my license --- so it must have been June of '77. We had to wait 3 hours to get into the theater, which featured the biggest screen I'd ever seen ... and, unbeknownst to me at the time, one of only 8 true 70mm Dolby Stereo prints of Star Wars being shown that first summer anywhere in the U.S.

I realized the movie had gotten under my skin when, on the way home, 16-year-old new driver that I was almost flipped the car on a clover-leaf freeway interchange while pretending to be an X-Wing pilot dive-bombing the Death Star.

Ooooops. :eek:

I want to see a picture of a 16 year-old iSm. :D

Here are two of my fav. spoofs of Star Wars (Besides Hardware Wars)
