Geez, it's three days before I turn 40, and this little milestone comes up to remind me. I am so getting old! It's hard to believe it's been this long. I remember as a kid sneaking back into the theatre twice with my older brother to watch Star Wars on it's opening day.....30 Years Ago Today. Yes, today is the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars. Wired reports...

Star Wars. It’s the backbone of geek DNA, even more essential than an intricate knowledge of Linux or the inability to get a date. And now, 30 years after an independent filmmaker blew us away with the exploits of a Cinnabon-coifed princess, a wide-eyed farm boy, a scruffy-looking nerf herder and the baddest throat-crushing villain this side of Mos Eisley, we still can’t get enough.

Come with us as we take a cruise down hyperspace lane with Wired’s ongoing obsession with all things emanating from a galaxy far, far away. Gasp at the unmasking of director George Lucas, swoon at little-known production tidbits (Christopher Walken as Han Solo?!) and marvel as fans re-enact their favorite scenes with stop-motion animation and Lego figures. Because, hey, is there anyone out there who doesn't love Star Wars? You’d have to look pretty hard -- probably in a wretched hive of scum and villainy.
