    Sorry everybody, I just noticed it is the 24th not the 25th. It should still count since it is the 25th to some people on this forum.

    It's the 25th here.

    And I was there, opening weekend in 1977 (Northbrook 2 theater in Northbrook, IL -- easily the best theater in the northern Chicago 'burbs at that time).

    New Star Wars film 'on cards'

    By Stephen Fenech

    Article from: The Daily Telegraph

    STAR WARS fans will sense a disturbance in the force amid rampant rumours that a new movie set before the prequels is to be announced in LA tomorrow.

    The news of the "huge" announcement by Star Wars creator George Lucas comes on the 30th anniversary of the first film.

    Chris Brennan, a member of Star Walking Inc - the Australian Star Wars appreciation society, is in LA for the offcial convention Celebration IV at the Los Angeles Covention Centre.

    He said the rumours sweeping the venue is that Lucas will announce a new Star Wars movie is in the works.

    Reports have been circling among fans and on the internet of a new Star Wars movie or movies set before the recent prequels at the time of Old Republic when the Jedi regained control of the galaxy from the Dark Lords of the Sith.

    "He did make a slip in an interview a couple of weeks ago and say something about a forthcoming movie,'' Brennan said.

    "The reporter went back to him and said `did you say movie?'

    "George said no he didn't say that and tried to cover it up.''

    Lucas has already confirmed a Star Wars live action TV series will be filmed in Australia from next year and will be set between the recent Episode III and the original 1977 Star Wars film which is Episode IV.

    Despite opening in just 32 US theatres (Spiderman 3 recently premiered in 4324 US theatres) across the US on May 25, 1977 it went on to be the second highest grossing film all time behind Titanic.

    Australian actors Bruce Spence who appeared in Episode III as Tion Medon as well as Zac Jensen, who played Jedi knight Kit Fitso in Episodes II and III, will be special guests at Celebration IV which will attract more than 60,000 fans, many in the costume of their favourite character.

    They will join other cast members from all six films including Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia), Anthony Daniels (C3P0) and Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian) at the convention.
    Brennan says LA has been caught up in Star Wars fever.

    "Just walking down the street here every second person is a Star Wars fan,'' he said.

    "It's a big feeling of brotherhood and sisterhood.''

    When asked why he was such a big Star Wars fan Brennan said: "It all comes down to the escapism. People can sit down and start watching Star Wars, any of the films, and get totally absorbed and get transported to a galaxy far, far away.''

    Star Walking Inc is organising its own convention to mark the 30th anniversary of the Star Wars premiere in Australian on the 21-22nd October in Melbourne.

    No, Return of the Jedi brought us the Ewoks. In 1977, Star Wars was a charming one-off, and gave few hints that it would become teh bloated, repellent fanchise it is today.

    I've never understood how God could expect his creatures to pick the one true religion by faith — it strikes me as a sloppy way to run a universe.

    He needs to sell his rights to make Star Wars VII, VIII & IX, preferably to Lawrence Kasdan, who did Star Wars V.
