Action Girl's Millenium Faclon 2

Both of our girls celebrated the 30th Anniversary of the release of Star Wars (A New Hope) on Sunday. Action Girl (age 6) hung in through the whole thing and enjoyed it. Super Girl (age 3) watched more than half. They had been looking forward to seeing it for days. It was really special and brought back of lot of memories. Here are some thoughts:
1) The movie stands up as a bit of bold movie-making.
2) The dialogue for the first half of the movie is really "hokey" - matches the acting.
3) The toughest character in the whole thing is Leia. Every time they are in a fight with her and she has a blaster, she shoots a storm trooper with her first shot EVERY TIME. Han, Luke, and Co. blast away and seldom hit anything.
I have a memory of the summer of 1977. My best friend Michael has just seen Star Wars with his family and tells me some of the plot while we're on my swing set.
We had a great time! Happy birthday, old friend...
