The Magic Returns

So .....

Have you seen this yet?

We finally got to see it full size on the screen as it was meant to be. We went to see Meet Joe Black tonight and there it was larger than life and in full detail.

"Oh! Those are dewbacks! I was heard to mutter as a scene which lost some scope in the internet version flashed across the screen.

Of course, the upshot of this is that I REALLY can't wait until May. It's been twenty-odd years since I was a little 4-year old in pigtails watching the screen wide-eyed as Luke, Leia and Han dashed through the corridors of the Death Star. I refused to get up to go to the bathroom back then while the Storm Troopers were chasing them, even though I had to go really badly.

I've been under the spell of the magic of Star Wars ever since. Every year since Return of the Jedi came out, I have been anxiously awaiting news of sequels, prequels, whatever, anything about the rest of the story.

Finally, at long last, we're getting it, and it looks great.

Thank you Mr. Lucas, for giving us this great tale.

P.S. Pictures ...
