I have been successful, furthermore, in convincing them of the innate superiority of the original 3 movies. Too bad we won't be up there until June... I have to put in one caveat about the dialogue, though. How many times can they say, "It's/he's/you're our only hope!" ???The Texas Bakershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02831737905620171326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-20600105117999101442010-02-18T20:09:56.808-09:002010-02-18T20:09:56.808-09:00That exhibit would be so perfect for my boyz.

I have a special place in my heart for Episode 1, though since my boyfriend at the time was a huge Star Wars geek and we went to the 12:01 showing with his mom and people were dressed up (I think he brought his light sabre, too). <br /><br />I've always been a Godfather girl. It seems like in life there are two kids of people, Star Wars people and Godfather people. I think Diane Keaton could kick Carrie Fisher's patoot.<br /><br />I do love museum exhibits, though and that looked interesting--I'll second you on the mannequin.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04503404052538005760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-22634956679433085232010-02-15T17:18:26.919-09:002010-02-15T17:18:26.919-09:00I don't think I could pass this quiz, but my d...I don't think I could pass this quiz, but my daughter used to date a guy who quizzed her on Star Wars trivia all the time.

I was about 7 yrs old when the original Star Wars first came out, and I remember thinking it was incredibly unfair that I always had to play Princess Leia's part while my cousin got to pick between Luke, Han, Chewie, Obi-Wan and Darth Vader whenever we played. I would much rather have driven the Falcon than run around with doughnuts on my ears. I would LOVE to see that exhibit! My twins would freak out just as much as their mom. I'm pretty sure they can both recite every line of Episode 4. <br /><br />Unfortunately, according to Google it would take me about 4 days to drive from Sout Carolina to Anchorage.

Or Solo (or Lucas) didn't know what the crap he was talking about.<br /><br />(Incidentally, the "Star Wars canon" has explained that last inconsistency away: Wookie<strong>e</strong>pedia says it's an 18-parsec run, but Han found a shortcut. However, if I remember correctly, they were discussing the ship's speed. You know, whatever.) <br /><br />But actually, it has been a while since I watched ANH.
