Happy 30th Anniversary, Star Wars!

That's right. Those unforgettable words of 'A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away' first appeared 30 years ago :) I myself have known the saga from my elementary school days, thanks to its great worldwide merchandising (action figures from Ovaltine, anyone?).

Since then, I've always consider myself as a fan of the Star Wars world, although the only collectibles that I have are movie posters and Dark Horse comic books. For those who have known the world from the recent prequels, it is understandable why some people seemed amused when watching the original trilogy (lets face it: no one from the six movies will win Best Actor/Actress in Academy Award).

For me, the great thing about Star Wars is how Lucas manages to keep the world persistent with the many mediums: from movies to comic books, computer games, etc., so fans like me can enjoy the world any way we like.

So happy 30th anniversary Star Wars! Keep the story going, so I can look forward to the 50th anniversary :)
