Those that know me are well aware of the fact that I am a huge! fan of the Star Wars movies all of them! This morning I happpened to be watching The Empire Strikes Back. As I was watching I started to recall on of my fondest momories I have as a child of the very first time I had seen it. It was in fact just a few months after we had moved here from California. I was celebrating my 9th birthday, my parents had planned this big party for me complete with presents, a big ballerina cake the hole bit! But all I had really wanted for my birthday was to go see The Empire Strikes Back in the theater! I can remember all during my party I was hoping that things would finish up early enough so we would be able to make the last afternoon showing, because I was covinced that if we didn't make the afternoon showing I would be doomed do to the fact that my dad didn't like going in the evening he felt it was to crowded then. So it's getting later and later and the party is still going on. I start to get really depressed because I figured my chances are pretty much shot! My dad came over to me after the party was over and asked me what was wrong! Of course I said it was nothing because I didn't want him or my mom to think that I hadn't appreciated their efforts. It was then he said oh by the way we have one more present for you! I'm sure you've figured out by now what that last present turned out to be? Dinner and an evening showing of The Empire Strikes Back! That night turned out to be one of my happiest memories! I think about that night every time I see it! So that got me thinking if anyone else had a movie that might evoke a fond memory? Just curious?
Oh and for my fellow Star Wars Trilogy buffs! Which Star Wars movie is your favorite?

I can see that all happening. Your mom tring to be so coy. Your dad just saying well here we go! Even though I don't care much for the star wars thing. I love it cause I can see the little girl in you every time you speak of it! Star wars is like your first toy. I am still not watching them!!
Yeah I guess you could say the Star Wars Trilogies were invloved in couple different events in my life! The Empire Strikes Back and the birthday!
Return of the Jedi was the movie I went to see on my first (real) Date! But don't worry I won't make you watch it. Much! (Ha Ha!)
I remember standing in line for the Return of the Jedi because I just had to know what happened to Han! The line was soooo long and I was afraid I wouldnt get in. My favorite is Empire Strikes Back, with a close second to Revenge of the Sith. Dont do it Anakin, please!!!!!!
Revenge of the Sith is one my faves as well, and yet in some ways so hard to watch because you know Anakin tuns to the dark side in the end. Of course we know this has to happen for the sake of the other movies, but there is that one part where you are still hoping Padamay can talk him out of it! But alas, No! He turns! No!!! Great movie man!!!
"There is still good in him"
(Fast Forward) To many years in the future of the Galaxy? Return of the Jedi! (my Favorite Line)
"Luke tell your sister"? "You were right about me" "You were right"!!! Gotta love It!!! Man!!!
And Good wins out over Evil in the end!!!
ewwww! such a kiss from your sister!?!?! ewww! I hope G.Lucas makes the other books in the Jedi series!! Do you remember the old table top dice roleplaying books? Loved thoes games. I like Star Trek as well, and moust other space epics. Have you seen The Fifth Element? Well im off to play StarWars Galaxies.
Oh dear I just can't get in on this but I wanted you to know I check in on your blog. I don't think I have ever watch a Star Wars. I have tried but I leave it to all you pros.

Ok, so hold on a minute! It just hit me. If there are a lot more books denicated to the Star Wars serise? Could that mean the possiblity of more movies in the future? What do you thnk? One can always hope? Can't one?
