Fandom Friday
Today is fandom Friday and my first one is about Star Wars!
I adore the whole thing! I was 17 when it came out in 1977 and I remember the awe as I watched that Imperial Star Destroyer fly over! And Luke! OMG! He was the perfect boy - blond and cute with such a wistful look as he stood outside his home on that Tatooine evening.
From the opening:
I even got a Vader for Christmas!
I have read tons of the "legends" books and written a little fan fiction. I am not in love with Disney and their rehash movies. At least George did original stories. I miss his input. Much of the canon that Disney has dumped is better than ANY of The Force Awakens. It was a decent mvoie but really just a remake of A New Hope. Rogue One was impressive though.
Some photos of my favorites:
Maybe we'll talk about elves next time!

I have a good friend who prided herself in having never seen Star Wars but has been a long time fan of Carrie Fisher's writing. When Carrie died, she went back and watched the original trilogy + The Force Awakens and is now the biggest Leia fan ever, it's partly her way of dealing with the loss of Carrie and it is a lovely glimpse of the power of fandom.

I remember, too! The whole cinema gasped!
