Star Wars

In 1977, Star Wars was released. Empire Strikes Back showed in 1980. Then finally Return of the Jedi in 1983. I actually don't remember watching these in the movie house but I'm sure we did because there were no DVDs back then. Betamax and VHS were in existence during the early 80's but I still think we got to see these films in the movie house.

London Eye was in love with Luke Skywalker. That much I do remember.

Sister Deer fixed her hair up once like Princess Leia. I don't know what the occasion was.

Slash-M teased little brother J relentlessly as 'Jabba the Hut, Jr.'

We had a Star Wars board game which is probably still among the board games at Cebu Avenue. And we had records (45's) of both Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back. We were lucky enough to have an Atari back then. We had a cartridge for Return of the Jedi.

The children have watched the prequel trilogy. I don't think all three of them have seen the original trilogy.

Even if they haven't seen the movie. I believe they are familiar with the music of Star Wars. (Yes, what John Williams had a whole orchestra play, this pianist seems to have managed to do on his own.)




Then let us go for the video which will show some scenes from the original Star Wars trilogy.

This next youtube video made me think of Slash-M, who will most likely send me a message in protest six seconds after he hits play but listen to the whole thing just for the heck of it. (I love you, boy!)

Must be something in the air. My kids are sooooo into Star Wars and Mana-mana (sorry, i guess i am not spelling that correctly)

Pia has declared your version of the star wars mana-mana better than the one they watched prior to this (also on youtube).

Another fave star wars is the organic grocery one (another youtube original)
