Maybe more like what everyone is talking about *today*, as it is Star Wars Day (May Fourth [as in ... May the "Fourth" be with you ...]).
Well, and maybe not quite *everyone* ... maybe you had to be of a certain generation ... or a certain fan base.
My virtual workplace invited us to submit Star Wars photos to a google community ('cause that's how the virtual water cooler thing works in modern times), and I submitted this one, heading back to my file/museum/collection room (yes, I have such a room ... and yes, I am an apprentice hoarder) to dig out this classic blanket from college ... I mean ... from high school ... I mean ... from elementary school.
Not a lot of things survived my time shared with my biological father's fourth wife (being my own therapist, I can recognize that might be a clue regarding my apprentice hoarding skills) ... but this blanket is one of them (holes and all). I know I had a death star and some action figures (they did not survive my childhood, I think because it may have been my biological mother [and fourth wife's immediate rival] who fed my Star Wars habits), but I'm actually no longer sure if this movie in the saga or ET or the Care Bears or a Smokey and the Bandit installation was my first movie seen in a theater (anyone in my family know?).
Regardless, I do know that, as a five year old child when it hit the theaters, it is indeed a part of my youth ... which I celebrate today with those that have similar fond memories of more innocent times.
