Welcome to the Star Wars 30th Anniversary thread, celebrating all things Star Wars!

It's hard to believe it's been 30 years since George Lucas' sci fi adventure masterpiece premiered in theaters across America and became the cultural phenomenon we all know today.

Please feel free to post your thoughts, reflections, and memories of the Star Wars films. Talk about the characters, the toys, the actors, whatever!

I will also post some info about the scheduled events this weekend that are also celebrating this great day.

Happy Anniversary Star Wars!

30. “This will be a day long remembered. It has seen the end of Kenobi, and will soon see the end of the rebellion.”

29. “What a piece of junk!”

28. “Don’t call me a mindless philosopher, you overweight glob of grease.”

27. “I’m Luke Skywalker, I’m here to rescue you.”

26.“Watch your mouth kid, or you’ll find yourself floating home.”

25.“Evacuate in our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances.”

24.“If this is a consular ship, where is the ambassador? — Commander, tear this ship apart until you’ve found those plans. And bring me the passengers, I want them alive!”

23.“Look, good against remotes is one thing, good against the living, that’s something else.”

22.“Aren’t you a little short for a stormtrooper?”

21. “What are we going to do? We’ll be sent to the spice mines of Kessel and smashed into who knows what.”

20. “That’s no moon, it’s a space station.”

19. “This is some rescue. You came in here and you didn’t have a plan for getting out?”

18. “He’s the brains, sweetheart!”

17. “You just watch yourself. We’re wanted men. I have the death sentence on 12 systems.”

16. “I’ll be careful.”

15. “You’ll be dead!”

14. “Mos Eisley spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.”

13. “Into the garbage chute, flyboy!”

12. “This is Red 5, I’m going in.”

11. “Boring conversation anyway. Luke, we’re gonna have company!”

10. “The Force is strong with this one.”

9. “I suggest a new strategy, R2. Let the wookiee win.”

8. “I’m a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan.”

7.“You are part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor. Take her away!”

6. “You’re all clear, kid! Now let’s blow this thing and go home!”

5. “These blast points — too accurate for sandpeople. Only imperial stormtroopers are so precise.”

4. “I’ve got a very bad feeling about this.”

3. “You’ve never heard of the Millennium Falcon? … It’s the ship that made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.”

“When I left you, I was but the learner, now I am the master.”

“Only a master of evil, Darth.”

“I find your lack of faith disturbing.”

“Use the Force, Luke.”

“You don’t need to see his identification … These aren’t the droids you’re looking for … He can go about his business … Move along.”

“Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope.”

“May the Force be with you.”

I was eight years old, and my father on one of his rare saturdays off took my brother my sister who was probably about 5 and myself to see Star Wars.

I remember we had to drive very far to the theater on route 1. This was long before the multiplexes started cropping up in New Jersey, so the twin cinema style theater had to suffice.

I really had no idea what this movie was about, but my Fahter had mentioned that one of his co-workers had seen it.

From the very second the words Star Wars flashed on the screen to John Williams' booming score I was hooked. The action, the spectacle, the good guys and bad guys. I was amazed.

We talked about the movie all the way home, and then we took turns telling Mom everything that had happened onscreen.

I saw Star Wars five more times that summer with either my family or friends.

And as many of you know whenever it comes on I will drop what I am doing and watch it again.

Good idea, but it would take me forever to figure out which one I wanted to use.

Skywalker · 05-24-2007, 10:52 PM

Happy 30th Anniversary Star Wars! In my opinion, it's the greatest movie ever made. I've been a Star Wars fan ever since I was a little kid. I used to have some of the Star Wars action figures, trading cards and a coloring book. I wish I still had some of those action figures, they're probably worth a lot of money now.

In honor of Star Wars turning 30, I plan on watching episodes IV-VI tomorrow night.

I still have all of my action figures.
