A while back in a galaxy too close for comfort, a dude named George Lucas wrote and directed a flick called Star Wars. Few expected to be the hit it was, or franchise still with us today. Known for the phrase "May the Force Be With You"...

The date: The original Star Wars (episode IV: A New Hope) was released May 25, 1977. May the Fourth came about in 1979 with a British newspaper ad congratulating Margaret Thatcher on becoming Prime Minister. Ever own a T-shirt, bumper sticker or other item with "May the Force Be With You" on it? Maybe said yourself?

The Force Awakens - episode seven in the series directed by J.J. Abrams in 2015. Harrison Ford returns as Han Solo to do spit takes with Jimmy Fallon and demonstrate a leg injury. Can't say I've ever seen Ford do a comedy, but think he'd be hilarious. Yes / no / maybe / NA as don't watch his stuff?

A long time ago: First time I became aware of Star Wars was one of those "Weekly Reader" fliers handed out it school. Okay, this looks kinda cool. Then picked up the first issue of the Marvel comics adaptation. I was hooked. Do you recall when you first got into a something you think yourself a fan of?
