Had a very pleasant Star Wars Day yesterday, watching the original film at a packed showing at the local picture house that included lots of kids getting indoctrinated by their geeky Dads.
It reminded me of a vivid childhood memory of my Dad taking.ke to see the film back in the late 70s, particularly walking out of Hull’s Cecil cinema holding his hand, walking up Carr Lane with a head full of spaceships, lightsabers and John Williams’ epic score.
The only sobering realisation on this viewing was that, while I would love to think of myself as Han Solo, in reality I am more like C3P0. Damn.
