Happy Birthday to George Lucas!
You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Tags: None -

I cant imagine where film (and pop culture) would be without him. Someone get a Wookie to give the guy a hug.Comment

Just think no Lucas - no star wars - no indy
no THX! No industrial light and sound, no skywalker sound!
we take for granted how much he did for movies - not just star wars
a lot of the tech he developed is what makes most of these new movies so great
Happy B-day George! and thanks for everything!"Where Does He Get Those Wonderful Toys?"Comment

In fact, Star Wars helped shape the Box Office, for better or worse. Star Wars paved the way for the 'event film'. One way of looking at it, there wouldn't probably be all these summer movies like Avengers, Iron Man, Dark Knight, etc. etc. etc.I am more than machine. More than man. More than a fusion of the two.Comment

Toy Lightsabers have come a long way since Kenner's first version. Which was pretty much a black flashlight with an inflatable vinyl balloon.
From 1978. First attempt by Kenner to recreate the famous Jedi weapon only as an inflatable. Unfortunately balloons not included...
I had this one which was kinda like a plastic wiffle ball bat that whistled when you swung it around.
Circa 1981, this Kenner Lightsaber is now one of this hardest Star Wars toys to find. Check out the rest from my virtual toybox! ^_^
The 1996 one was a huge improvement. (BTW: listen closely to the narrator)
