Loneliness

Loneliness, have you ever been alone? Not just when you are all by yourself, with no one else around, but really and truly alone? Perhaps alone but always in company. It’s not an easy thing. Not that I have experienced it that much, but I imagine it would be quite difficult. And believe it or not, there are a lot of people who go through this, watch as you walk down the hall, watch for the people that don’t talk to people, keep their ideas to themselves, sit alone at lunch, go home, and no one knows who they are, and what they’re like.
Do you know what it’s like to be alone? People do crazy things when they are alone. They get grumpy and grouchy, and scare people, or they get too friendly, and scare people. They do things they wouldn’t normally do if they had some company, things no one would do. They sit on their porch and yell at people who walk on their grass, they go to the zoo and start talking to monkeys, and name them weird things. They collect weird things like piggy banks or something. They get prank called by boys and girls that later come and take his money, only to befriend him, put him in the hospital, then he dies.
But then sometimes you have to be alone. When you live in a world where no one is alone, but yet, you are all alone not allowed to speak to each other, and share your ideas. You don’t get to choose your occupation, women and men are not allowed to love. There is a council which decides what you can and cannot do. Then you find something, a link to the past, and also to what could be the future, it is brilliance. But the council will not have it, and you are banished for thinking.
Perhaps you are an only child, you have two friends, one who lives miles away, the other is a sailor, who you hardly ever see. You grow up on a farm with your parents. One day your friend comes home, only to fall in love, he has betrayed you. Your other friend suffers death. You are alone.
Or perhaps you are stranded on an island, there is another on the island, but he is not your friend, in fact, he is a predator, and you are his prey. You have three days to outwit him, and he will let you go. But noone has ever escaped him, it’s your wit against his, and you can bet, he will come off conqueror. You are alone.
Yes, being alone can be hard, but it can also lead you do greatness, you just have to use it to your advantage.

Spring

Isn’t spring just the most wonderful, hip-hoppity time of the ding-dang year? YES!!! YOU KNOW IT IS!! DON’T DENY IT!! I know you all just love to run through all the pretty, green, grassy fields. Then roll in the long green grass, and smell all the pretty pink and purple flowers! You know you love to look at the clear blue sky and make shapes in the clouds and laugh for no reason at all! Oh spring! Oh the dawning of new life! How could you betray me! You came like a beacon of light, breaking through the darkness of the harsh winter, the bleak, dark winter! Oh how I wish you could last forever! Where do you go? Leaving the world behind to the hot and blistering days of summer? Take me with you! TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!! Don’t leave me hear alone! Don’t leave me to face the world on my own, with nothing but reality to rely on! Why? Why dost thou leave me? Have you forgotten all that I have done for you? Have you forgotten what I have done? Have you? HAVE YOU?!?!?!?! But alas, you cannot stay forever. This I know. And this, I have come to learn. Year after year, my realization grows clearer, that you must leave me. That you cannot stay for play. That off beyond the distance sea, you must go. You must go. Go. Leave me be. Oh how I despise good byes. Go. GO! GO!!! Please, the longer you stay, the more I miss you, your bright clear days, clean blue skies, and all your smells and sights. Leave me! Oh leave me. Leave me. Leave me, and remember me. For I shall surely remember you. Yes, remember you I shall. Always. And never forget what you have done for me. Never, never, never. I shall be here. Waiting. Yes, waiting. Waiting for the glorious day when you come back from wherever you have been for so long, so long. And when you come, it shall be a glorious day, a day of triumph, a day of joy. And I will be hear waiting. Waiting. Ever so patiently. And as I wait I--walk. I walk alone, down the middle of the road. It is dusk. Robins scurry in the street, and as I approach, they take flight, flapping there wings, only to land in the grass by the road side to find the worms brought up from the rains. It is quiet, peaceful. The trees are yellow and pink and in full blossom. The grass is dark green, and full. Long from not being mowed since the summer before. The sky is grayish-blue. Turning an orange-pink on the horizon as the sun sets behind the distant mountains. The silhouette of trees stand out against the sunset. Trees that have seen more than a lot of people. I wonder if they could talk, what stories they would tell. I walk on. The air is cool, and clear. I look east and see the Rocky Mountains. They are still capped with the late snow. Gray, and white, and brown. I wonder how long it will be until they change like the trees. Until they are green, and full of color. How long until time changes them too. As it does to everything. Always turning. We can never stop it. We grow older with the earth. Day by day, week by week, year by year. Until eventually, we are old and weak. Walking with a cane. We will no longer be able to run through the fields, and catch frogs in the pond. We look at ourselves, and look at the earth. The earth that has been growing with us our entire lives. And the lives of grandfathers, clear back to the beginning of time. And yet, it is young. It is alive as always, still fresh, like it hasn’t aged a day from the very beginning. And you wonder, if it ever will. Can the earth grow too old? No. It can’t. And it never will. And we will never fully discover all its secrets, all that it has to offer us. All that it is waiting to offer us.

Procrastination

Lets admit it, we all do it. First day of the term, "here is your term project, you’ve got two months to get it done." Two months later: "oh, @#%$!!, is that due tomorrow?!?! I haven’t even started! Man do I have some serious homework to do!"- Sound familiar? Procrastination is what we junior high students do best. In fact, we are pros. at it. Although it causes us to work harder than we would have if we wouldn’t have put it off, we still do it. Because hard work often pays off later on, laziness always pays off now. And that’s what we care about. It’s like getting drunk, you go, you drink, have a good time, blah, blah, blah, the next day you’re throwing up. We as human beings are really dumb sometimes. Some of us more than not. And some not so much. The point is, even though it requires a lot more stress, and work, we still procrastinate. Like right now, I’ve procrastinated writing blogs, I am behind on like two or three, and it is going to take me longer than it would have to get the blogs done, had I done them when I was supposed to. I still have some math problems to do, because I put off finishing it, now I will either have to do it later tonight, or get up early tomorrow morning and do it. But although procrastination is bad, it is better to do something late than never. If you put off your term project in science until the day before, you can still get it done, it may not be as good as you would have liked, and you will probably be up all night doing it, but it is better than nothing. It really bugs me when people think that because they waited, it is over and all is lost, and they don’t even try. It’s like the ultimate form of laziness and self pity. They have an F a week before the end of the term, and they don’t even try to do extra credit, or makeup work to pull it up do at least a D-, and they end up taking a make up class when if they would have worked a little harder before, they could have pulled it up. The lazier you are, the more work you will eventually end up doing. We just have trouble looking past where we are at the moment, and realizing what we will have to do later. We see things, or rather, we look at things on the small term scale. We see immediate consequences and rewards. Which leads us to laziness, if we were to look at things on the large scale, we would see that even though we are happy now, we would have to do more work later, and although if we worked now, the fun we get later on, will be more than the half an hour we get now, by not working on something a little each night. It is a simple lesson of life that we have been taught all our lives. But it does us no good, unless we act on it.

Pie

Now this may seem like a kind of random subject, but if you think about it, pie plays a major influence in peoples lives if you really think about it. I mean, how good is pie? Pie is probably in the top five greatest foods on earth. Whoever invented pie is a genius. There are tons and tons of different kinds of pie: cherry pie, chocolate pie, coconut, banana, caramel, raspberry, blue berry, apple, peach, strawberry, there are pies that have all these mixed together. Heck, even pizza pie. Lets face it, pie is great. You can make just about anything into a pie, that is probably where they got chicken pot pie, a bunch of left overs thrown into a pot, with a crust put on for the heck of it. And it does affect people today. It has affected people for hundreds of years. Think of the pilgrims, and Thanksgiving, what did they eat besides turkey and stuffing? Pie of course. Pie is everywhere, heck it is so good, that one day some genius mathematician, was sitting there doing an equation on a circle, but he couldn’t get that blue berry pie out of his mind. So to let it go he decided out of pure pie madness to call the recurring number ‘3.14', pie, but to hide his madness, he spelled it pi, instead of pie, and noone new, until one day they caught him stealing pies from a bakery and he confessed it all. But that’s not the point. The point is, PIE IS AMAZING!!! Pie has changed math history! You don’t see cake doing that now do ya! Didn’t think so! But all this pie mania, makes you wonder, what is it about pie that makes it so tasty and wonderful? Did you ever stop to think that maybe there is something more? Something hidden, some symbolism in pie and what it stands for? Some deeper knowledge that the maker of the pie didn’t inform the rest of us about? What is the secret to pie? Where does it’s goodness come from? Or, you could just not worry about all of this stuff, and just enjoy eating it! That’s what I do. Whenever a question comes up, I just eat until it goes away. And eventually I stop caring where the goodness comes from, and just enjoy it. I believe that there are a lot of questions, and a lot of answers out there. But come on people, pie is pie. What else is there to worry about? Bake, or buy, and EAT IT! That’s all there is to it. Ask all you want about cake, and french fries, and ice cream, but I think pie stands for enough in this country that it deserves the proper respect. And what better way to show respect than by showing that you love it. And how do you show you love pie? JUST EAT IT!!! And bam! There you go! Now you may think that this blog was written by some wacko that doesn’t have the faintest clue what the heck he is talking about. But really, it came from my heart, for I, have a passion for pie.

Fire And Ice

Just put this comic on well, because I’m posting my blog, and sometimes, it just feels good to let it all out. Anyways, back to my blog.



Fire And Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,Some say in ice.From what I've tasted of desireI hold with those who favor fire.But if it had to perish twice,I think I know enough of hateTo say that for destruction iceIs also greatAnd would suffice
This is a poem by Robert Frost concerning the end of the world. If I had the choice wether to have the world end in fire, or in ice, I would have to say ice. Although in some cases fire might be better. For example, you die quicker and get it over with. The only problem is the way you die. Death by fire and burning I would hate. It is hard to imagine the pain someone who is being burned goes through. It’s like touching your hand to a hot pan and holding there. At first there is excruciating pain. Then you hear a sizzle, your flesh is melting into the pan. Your skin literally drips of your body as you melt and burn. You are deformed, and start to shrivel up, and if your nose hasn’t been totally melted together, you can smell yourself cooking. Considering all of this, Ice sounds like heaven. Although you would endure freezing, and you would live longer, but that’s only because once fire starts on you, it doesn’t take long before you’re a goner. Ice on the other hand, you are kept alive, and you spend your time trying to keep warm. Until one extra cold night you keel off and die. So, there are ups and downs to both sides. But for me, slipping off in the middle of the night sounds a heck of a lot better than roasting, and at least when your frozen your body is somewhat preserved, rather than turning into a pile of ashes and melted flesh. Of course who’s to say that the world will end by either of these? Who knows? Maybe giant earthquakes will just start up every where, the valley’s will become mountains, the mountains will become valleys, and all life will be swallowed up inside the earth, and crushed. Or maybe giant tornadoes, hurricanes, and tsunamis will wipe everything out. Or, it might be a combination of all of these. Some people burn, some people freeze, some are swallowed up in the earth itself, and some are carried off, and smashed into rocks by tornadoes, or great storms. It’s kinda weird really when you think about it. There is no way to know for sure which one it will be, or if it will be all of them, so, there really is no way to prepare for it. Personally, I look forward to the end. Death will be a welcome, new adventure after going through life. Not to say I don’t enjoy life, because I do, but because hopefully by the time I die, I would have lived long enough, that I am ready for a new adventure.

Buddhism

Recently I visited a Buddha temple. The one in Layton, it was pretty cool. Then this Monk dude talked to us. We had to take off our shoes when we entered the temple. It has red carpet, there are sofa’s on the left wall, and on the right, there is a platform about three feet high. On the platform there are about a dozen red mats. With what looks like the back of chairs for your back. They are red, with gold around them. By each "seat" there are signs, that tell what rank of monk you are. On the back wall, facing the entrance, is a large golden statue of Buddha. And no, he is not fat. He is wearing like a gold Greek robe looking kind of thing. In front of Buddha, there is a slightly smaller golden statue or his apostle. He is forward, and wearing the same thing. Then there is another apostle facing forward as well. And is slightly smaller than the apostle on the left. He is gold, and wears the same thing, except that he has what looks like an archway of leaves over him. The bigger one is said to have been the one that recorded all of Buddha’s teachings, and is responsible for the Buddhist bibles and records. The other one as far as I could understand, was the welfare man. He was the one who took care of the people with food and stuff like that. On the next level down, there were two more smaller statues facing each other. I’m not sure who they were though. Then they just had a bunch of weird decorations, there were these things that looked like giant eggs wearing necklaces, they were sitting in giant goblets or something. Then just a lot of little statues of men. And a lot of flowers. All kinds, each symbolizing something. There is blue, purple, white, pink and then they have big lanterns where the light bulb is in the middle of the flower pedals. In the middle of the decorations there is the little worship table. With candles and stuff. The ceiling is really curved up. With a bunch of little lantern looking decorations hanging from them.

When we entered the temple there was a monk, siting along the right wall, he had like a rust colored, toga type robe. But he said they usually where white while in the temple. He said that most of the monks there were from Thailand. He told us about the Buddhist religion. Their three main beliefs he said was :one, do no evil, two, do good, for if your just not doing evil, you should do good as well, and finally to purify your mind. One way they do this is meditation. He said that to meditate. They focus on one thing when they breath in, and something else when they breath out. Breath in is number one. Breath out is number two. Then he explained that the human mind is like a monkey, and how it just jumps around to different things. And said that half of us were thinking of something else while listening, and by the guilty laugh from everyone, I suppose he was right. When your mind jumps to something, the goal is to bring it back and tie it up on your two thoughts. It was very interesting. They also believe in the "golden rule." He said that they try to do as much as good as possible, in doing this they said that they are taken care of in return. One thing that surprised me, is how seriously they took their religion. A lot of people these days don’t take anything seriously, even when it comes to their religion, it seems they think that as long as they say they belong to a certain religion they will be saved. Even though they don’t follow any of their church "rules." From six to seven in the morning he said that they all get up and chant. Then spend time meditating to clear their mind for the day. The rest of the day they do more religious stuff. Then from six to seven in the evening they do more chanting. And more meditating. They also do not shake hands. For some reason, they do not touch other people. Instead of shaking hands, they put their hands together as if they were going to pray, and do a slight bow. It’s pretty cool. They also have like a tea, and coffee machine by the front doors. It is surprising how small it is, usually when you think of temples, you would think of a big building with a high ceiling and lots of halls and rooms. This temple on the other hand, was one room, smaller than the school cafeteria. And near the walls the ceiling is so low you almost have to duck to go without bumping your head. They have a separate building kind of in front of it, I think that is where some of the monks stay, but I’m not sure. Like I said, most of the monks that worship there are from Thailand, so it was difficult to understand the man who was talking to us because as far as I understood came here with very little. And is still trying to learn English. In fact he occasionally would stop just to make sure we were following him, and we understood.

I’m glad I had the chance to go and visit the Buddhist temple and learn about their way of life. For pretty much my whole life I just thought Buddhism was a bunch of people who admired a fat man with a bowl of fruit. I think that is one of the problems with to days teens, and not just teenagers but people of all ages, they are so naive. They get an opinion of something and don’t bother to find out wether it is true, or some made up rumor. So if you ever have the chance I would advise visiting the Buddhist monk, because, contrary to what people may think, they are not all a bunch of chubby men. And a lot friendlier than some people would think.

Peace Builder Assignment

Today’s world is full of a lot of things, but if there was one thing that this world is lacking, it would be peace. In the Yearling, there are a lot of examples of peace-builder like qualities. Three of the major peace-builder like qualities I think are found in this book, is for one, they show respect to each other, two, they help each other, and three, they forgive each other.
Respect is a major part of peace, if everyone in this world were to respect each other, we wouldn’t have mor than half the violence we have today. Not only do the characters in this book respect each other, but they respect life as a whole. One example of this is when Penny gets bitten by the rattle snake, and he has to shoot the doe to save his life. He explains to Jody why he did it, and that he was sorry he did it. He tells Jody that life is a valuable thing, and teaches a great lesson. Another example of respect, is shown in the way Penny deals with the Forresters. Although they may not be his favorite people in the world, he treats them with respect, and kindness. Another way of showing respect is by helping each other.
All throughout this book there are examples of people helping others. One of these that I can remember is when Oliver is fighting off about three Forresters by himself. Despite the odds, Penny and Jody join the fight to help him. Now considering the size of Penny and Jody, and the size of the Forresters, it was a pretty big act of kindness. Another is when Buck helps with the Baxter farm when Penny is sick from the rattlesnake. He spent countless hours working and planting when he could be home on his own farm. Another act of kindness. However, without forgiveness, he wouldn’t have been there to help.
Forgiveness, is another major peace builder quality shown in this book. As I said before, if Buck hadn’t forgiven Penny for fighting for Oliver, then he wouldn’t have helped out with their farm. Another example of forgiveness, is when Jody forgives Oliver for leaving. He realizes it is useless to hold a grudge and makes friends again. And probably the biggest example of forgiveness is at the end. After Flag is shot, Jody runs away. He is afraid to go back home, because he fears his parents won’t want him around after what his deer did. When he finally gets home however, he finds that they had missed him terribly and wanted him back.
I think that the world could do with a lot more peace, and peace builders. And just as in the Yearling, we need to show respect, help each other, and probably most important, forgive each other.

Star Wars

I didn't want to use this, but since I don't have time to write 3 more blogs, this has over 1700 words, so hopefully it will count.


Whoosh! The great space ship kicks into hyper speed! The stars blur and it disappears faster than a bullet. Giant lasers fly through space, ships explode-sending massive balls of fire into space. This is what awaited millions in May of 1977, this, and a whole lot more. Star Wars was an enormous hit. Variety stated "Star Wars is a magnificent film. George Lucas set out to make the biggest possible adventure-fantasy out of his memories of serials and older action epics, and he has succeeded brilliantly. What Lucas lacks in originality is more than made up by enthralling special effects"(Supershadow). The fans seemed to think so also, opening day alone totaled $254,309 from just 32 theaters. And by the end of its first theatrical run, it was the most successful film in North American history, a gross in excess of $290 million (Supershadow). Where did such a hit come from? It came from the amazing imagination of George Lucas, who took older fantasy movies, and made whole new worlds. Star Wars was is a world famous movie and adventure, and will continue to be for generations to come.
I grew up watching Star Wars, but never was that interested when I was younger. I knew the basic story line of Luke becoming a jedi. I knew about the horrifying moment when Darth Vader reveals that he is Luke’s father. I mean, who doesn’t? But that’s not to say I didn’t like Star Wars from the start. I was still excited when Episode I came out, and I collected a bunch of Star Wars toys. Episode II wasn’t bad, especially since it’s the first time you get to see Yoda actually fight. But it wasn’t until Episode III came out, that I really got into it.
Since it was the very last episode, the one we’ve all been waiting for, who wasn’t excited to see how Anikin becomes Darth Vader? With all the excitement, a lot of things were being shown on TV about the making of Star Wars, the original trilogy. I saw part of one TV special that showed how the different characters were made, how they did the voices, and the hardships George Lucas and the other cast members went through to bring it on the big screen. I learned that the robots have people inside, that control and do things. There is a man inside C3P0, that does the voice himself, and that Star Wars was almost cancelled because of the time it took to make. After seeing that, it really got me interested. When I saw the last episode it was awesome. My little brother and I have been having light-saber battles on the trampoline ever since. We both have light up, sound activated light-sabers. I decided, that if I was going to fight like a Jedi, I had better learn about them too.
After seeing all the TV specials, and light-saber fights, I wanted to learn more about Star Wars and how it came to be. For example, how did they make the space ships fly in space? How did they do the light saber fights? Where did they shoot the scenes for the different planets? How did they make Yoda? These are some of the basic things I wanted to find out. But finding them was another story all together.
Finding information on the making of Star Wars was probably the hardest part. The internet was almost no help at all, which is kind of surprising seeing that when you type in "The Making of Star Wars", into Google or Yahoo, you get about twenty -million results. The only problem is, only about two of the fifty sites I looked at actually gave information. And those both gave the same information, when Star Wars came out, and how much money it made. It wasn’t bad, it was better than nothing, but it didn’t answer the questions I had. I spent the next week or so typing in as many things as I could into Google to find out more, and found maybe one site. This was going to be a lot harder than I thought it was. I then went to the bonus disc on the Episode III DVD. The most interesting thing there was how they choreographed the light-saber fights. This was one of the few bits of actual interesting useful knowledge I had. A few days later I was talking to a friend about it. He had the answers. He told me he had a four-hour bonus disc on the making of Star Wars. Telling how they made pretty much everything in it, where they filmed, had interviews with the actors, and George Lucas, men from the making, and a lot more. I went to his house that night and borrowed it. I watched about and hour and a half of it that night and it had all the information I needed. Man, was there a lot of stuff to learn from that DVD, which ended up being the main source of information for my paper.
I learned a lot of stuff I didn’t know about Star Wars in doing this paper. The movie Flash Gordon, gave Lucas a lot of ideas for Star Wars. George Lucas, had offered Star Wars to Universal Studios, and all the rest of the studios in Hollywood, and was turned down by all except for 20th Century Fox. Lucas was given $10 million for the making of "Star Wars, A New Hope." George Lucas and crew stationed themselves in an old warehouse in California, they later moved to El street, just outside of London. After setting up from scratch, and starting on the making of all the ships and models, it was time to find the actors that would star in this galactic adventure (Lucas 2004).
Lucas did not want widely renown actors to star in his movie, so he spent the next 4 to 6 months auditioning and searching for his stars. Young 24 year old Mark Hamill, tried out and was chosen to be Luke Skywalker (Lucas 2004). Harrison Ford had played in George Lucas’s previous film called American Graffiti, and was working on the set helping auditioning actors by feeding them lines, and eventually was chosen for the part of Han Solo (Supershadow). A young actress by the name of Carrie Fisher was chosen for the part of the beautiful Princess Lea. But because she was a mite large, she had to attend a fat farm and lose 10 pounds for the part. For the evil lord Darth Vader, champion body builder David Prowse was chosen. The commanding general was played by 63 year old Peter Cushing. For the part of Chewbacca, Solo’s trusty companion, 7'3" Peter Mehew was chosen. Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke’s mentor and instructor in the Jedi ways, was Alec Guiness, a more widely known actor. At 3'5" Kenny Baker was chosen to play the mischievous little robot of R2-D2. Actor Anthony Daniels played the part of his partner droit C-3P0(Lucas 2004). But for such important characters the voices had to be just write. Other wise it just didn’t fit.
Daniels (C-3P0) had previously had training as a mime artist, and did his own voice. For the voice of R2-D2, baby noises were recorded, beeps and boops were then put together and put through an electronic synthesizer. Chewbacca’s came from the recordings of different animals, such as bears, walrus’s, and tigers, they were mixed together in different patterns to make it sound like he was talking. Darth Vader’s evil breathing actually came from a microphone attached inside a regulator in a scuba tank. David Prowse fit the body of Darth Vader, but it sounded odd having him as the voice of Darth Vader as well, since he did have a Scottish accent, so instead they had Prowse act, and a stutterer, born in Mississippi ,and raised in Michigan, named James Earl Jones provided the voice of Darth Vader (Lucas 2004). But despite these characters and their unique ways of communication, Star Wars wouldn’t be the same without Yoda.
Yoda, was a two-foot tall puppet, designed by Stuart Freeborn. Yoda’s wise look, came from Freeborn himself, and the face of Einstein. Frank Oz was Yoda’s main operator, but in addition, three other men were needed to fully operate him. Yoda’s swamp, had to be built afive feet above the stage, so that the puppeteer could operate from underneath, the top of the stage was covered with rocks, trees, caves, etc. In order to hear each other, Luke had an ear piece, that would occasionally bleep out and pick up rock bands (Lucas 2004). Yoda became a famous and widely known character in Star Wars, but it was Mark Hamill’s believable performance that made people accept him as a living breathing character. While all of this was taking place in London, ILM was working hard on producing exclusive space battles.
The space ships were miniature models on a string then put on a starry back ground. Everything was a model. Blue screen technology was what mostly brought them to life. Even in the jungle, when they fly around on the speeders in Empire Strikes Back, with all the little furry guys, some of the jungle isn’t even real, it’s just them sitting on the speeder and the computerized jungle moving around them (Lucas 2004). But even so, Empire Strikes Back, had a lot more special effects concerning the space battles.
Even though some of the jungle was computer, the rest was shot in California. In order to create all the different worlds, Lucas had to travel around ours. After setting up in London, the cast went to North Africa to shoot Luke’s home with uncle Ben. Unfortunately within the first days of shooting, it received it’s first major rainfall in 50 years. With rain coming down horizontally they had to cancel shooting. Filming in North Africa created some problems and put the crew behind schedule. The snow scene in Empire Strikes Back, was shot in Norway, again, the crew faced bad luck, it was the worst winter that Scandinavia had had in 50 years, 20 below zero, with 18ft. of snow(Lucas 2004). But despite these difficulties, "Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back" ended up being another huge hit.
Star Wars is a legacy in movie making. It changed the way people think about space. It taught values, while capturing one’s imagination. A billion years in the making, and it came to our galaxy, on that historical day back in May, 1977.
