Happy 40th Birthday Star Wars!

May 25, 2017

On May 25, 1977, a space movie starring Alec Guiness, Peter Cushing and a bunch of nobodies was released into a handful of theaters... and Hollywood has never been the same since.  STAR WARS has gone on to become so much more than just a movie and changed the lives and careers of stars Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher. Now, four decades, seven additional films (with more to come), and BILLIONS of dollars in sold merchandise later, Andy Farnsworth, Adam Thomas and guest contributor (and award-winning writer) Aaron Zundel talk about what makes George Lucas' galaxy far, far away so special.  How has this movie resonated so much and for so long?  What are your favorite moments?  Listen to ours, then join us in the comments and tell us your own!
