I never really thought about the fact that I may be a
nerd. I love to read, I watch Sci Fi
channel – especially those awful old B-rated movies about something destroying
the planet until the unlikely hero rescues everyone, I wait in line on opening
day for all the new Marvel superhero movies – so I guess I do officially qualify as a
nerd. I know that I am in good company. J
As a genuine nerd – I will gladly admit that I am excited to celebrate
Star Wars Day. I might not watch all six movies like the Big Bang Theory show portrayed this week, but hopefully I can stream one or two of the original movies. I remember being so
excited to see Star Wars in the movies (and yes like most fans, I thoroughly
DISLIKE the newer episodes 1, 2 & 3).
It is hard to image that the first movie came out almost 4 decades
ago.
I know I had a big crush on Luke Skywalker and Han Solo – I mean
who didn’t? I was sooo pissed at my
older sister for spilling the beans about Darth Vader.
Even now – with the goofy old graphics, that
were cutting edge at the time, there is nothing quite like watching Jedi
Knights defend the galaxy.
Like most Star Wars fans, I was very excited when the
cast of the seventh "Star Wars" movie was announced & it included many of the
original actors. I am also a bit apprehensive,
because like me, my Jedi heroes have aged a bit too – and I want to remember
them in all their glory. Seeing Luke
& Han much older means I have to face the fact that I am older too.
I will celebrate official Star Wars day and I will look
forward to the newest installment of this amazing movie franchise, and I really
hope this seventh movie will bring back the glory of Star Wars and some of my
favorite childhood heroes. JJ Abrams – Good luck and May the Fourth be with
you!
