May 25th, 1977. The day a certain science-fiction film debuted in theaters, only to become a cultural phenomenon that endures to this very day.
Obviously this is a big occasion. I shouldn't have to explain why, but I will anyway: Look at the damn website you're using! Sorry that was mean. Seriously though, few properties get to remain in the public eye for this long, and it's quite an impressive feat. Hell, even before Disney took over, it was still all over the place; not nearly to the same degree but it was very much still widely popular. It's clearly an inspiration to us all, and I know it certainly is to me; it, among a few other series, have fueled my imagination throughout my life, and was one of the gateways to me beginning to tell my own stories.
So happy birthday, Star Wars, here's to the next forty. And also the 50th and 100th anniversaries, those'll be cool too.
