2. Was it really May 4, 1977 that Star Wars Opened? Nope it was.... 25 May 1977- IMBD

Holly Molly...that ain't just yesterday...I recall seeing it about 2 weeks after it opened. It had just begun to take off...it wasn't the mega-hit that it became. Just the start of the incredible rise. I walked out of that theater feeling so good. What a wonderful film that was. Saw it 7 times in the movie theaters. Yep 7 times.....What is May 4th about?:

3. It is a play on words...

may the force be with you (like you are saying it with a lisp).

4. "4th" is a play on "force"

That's all. Today is May 4th (May the 4th)

May the 4th (force) be with you, Stuart G!

My kids and I loved the movie too, and from thereon till he turned 6, my youngest boy snuggled up at bedtime with his Millennium Falcon instead of his teddy bear. Good years those were.

11. The force was with me....

I enjoyed that movie so much..The scene in the bar with Chewbacca and Hans Solo..is truly memorable. Obi Wan..made a great deal with Hans....Let the force be with us all....!!!

12. Cinco de Mayo Eve. That was a traumatic time for me.

As a kid in Juarez, one year I hung my huaraches

over the fireplace.
I thought it would be like Santa on Christmas Eve.

The next morning I walked in to find my huaraches burned and papa beat me for being so stupid.
I never did that again.

[frogmarch]

14. Ohhh, trof, that is

very sad. I am sorry it happened to you.
