Happy 35th Birthday Star Wars (VIDEO)

Today, Star Wars turns 35 years old.  I wanted to take this opportunity to show the original trailer.


Now, I also wanted to remind everyone who says they grew up with Star Wars, and specifically those who recall seeing it in the theater, that you have to be at least 35 years old to say that...and probably more like 40 years old to say you actually remember the theater experience.  That doesn't mean you are less of a fan; you might even be a bigger fan because you choose to lie about seeing a move that came out before you were born or had the memory capacity to recall seeing it in the theater.  Anyway, this trailer makes it look so much darker and mysterious than it is.  Too bad the guy who put that trailer together didn't make Episodes 1-3.

Do you remember the floppy drive?  I do.  Do you remember the annoying sounds they made?  I do. Do you remember the song "What Is Love" by Haddaway, made famous by the SNL skit and movie "Night at the Roxbury"? I do.  Did your floppy drive ever play that song?  Neither did mine.
