Happy Birthday Star Wars!!!

Star Wars is 30 years old today. It's amazing isn't it, its been 30 years since our imaginations were sparked to life it. 30 years since the opening lines "A long time ago...In a galaxy far far away..." sparked generations of youngsters to dream and reopened the eyes of every film-maker in the world.

Beyond a film, it become the symbol of an entire generation. And it become the one thing that brought back hope to a generation that has forgotten the difference between good and evil. There are so many different things that could be traced to the impact of Star Wars and I'll probably go into it in detail another day but no matter what people will say about it and the subsequent sequels, the truth is, Star Wars will never lose its place in the hearts, minds and dreams of an entire generation.
