Worth noting that today is the 30th anniversary of the first Star Wars movie - Star Wars IV: A New Hope. There's about a billion news items around the world with more information.

30 years ... holy s***e ... Harrison Ford is that old!!!!

Screw him, _I'm_ that old (almost) :( My parents took me to see this in the cinema when I was a baby.

Oh god I'm older than Star Wars :(

Actually it's tomorrow (May 25 '77 was the original release date). Trust the news services to f*** it up..

hb sw

IMDB says

Release Date:
27 October 1977 (Australia)

So? We're talking the day it came out, not the day it started in Australia.


HB star wars. Here's hoping the next few SW related projects out of Lucasfilm are worth it :)

nah, hes done the damage with all the s*** hes churned out since the original trilogy

and yer, thats pretty scary, 30 years old!

my next door neighbour had star wars on vhs when we were just little and we'd watch it over and over

great moofie

nah, hes done the damage with all the s*** hes churned out since the original trilogy

I assume you're talking about Lucas and not talking about Harrison Ford!

Yeah thanks Kat, notice where I said "original release date" ie. US.

I assume there'll be a separate celebration for the Aussie date..

heh, to think i thought starwars was so advanced when i saw it at the cinema when i was in primary school :P it looks so old n dated now... bit like me :D

Man, can you imagine if a Star Wars movie took 5 months to get to Australia these days? There'd be nobody left in the country who hadn't already juarezed it.

Ha ha yeah, i remember juarezing Star Wars Ep 1 on the school dual ISDN connection back in 1999?. Ran over the weekend. Wasn't a bad camjob.

PS Hi Obes. You never caught me.

27 October 1977

My birthday (except 1983)

doh.
I borked it. Buggered if I'm resizing the img :P

The original trilogy are the best and I really hope Lucas doesn't make anymore movies in the Star Wars universe because he'll just f*** them up like he did with the last three.

There was mention in the Herald Sun about the possibility of him making one or more new Star Wars movies based around the old republic. I wouldn't mind seeing those movies get made, I just hope Lucas finds someone else to direct them.

Oh also, lol @ star wards nerds getting arrested now. Link

you guys are too critical, the last 3 movies weren't too bad.

I wish he did make one of the old republic that would be sweet, heaps of sith and jedi to fight etc.

Man this is old.


LOL
