That is one fantastic pic. If you had some fog and some gelled lighting it really would look like a production image.
It's crazy to think that I was just born when one of THE greatest sci-fi/fantasy movies of ALL time was hitting the world....

30 years!? That would make me...old. I was there when ESB opened in Bakersfield, California, third in line. Not hard to do; just showed up three hours before showtime.
I will admit that ESB was a "better" movie, in terms of maturity and complexity and technical proficiency, than "Star Wars" (iI's Star Wars and always will be Star Wars, no ANH nonsense for me, and that has to be the worst title of the bunch--would you go see a new space movie called "A New Hope"? I thought not.), but SW is still my go-to movie. It's the one that brings me the most joy and holds the most sentimental value for me. It's the one that changed my life.
And if Irvin Kershner was such a great director, explain "Robocop 2." I think Kersh got Robocop 2 on the strength of ESB, but IMO it was Lawrence Kasdan who really made ESB what it is. Anyway...
Happy 30th, ESB!*

I remember to this day my Dad telling me we were going to a movie and I would miss the Dukes of Hazzard. I was an unhappy 3 year old but when they told me the power was out I bought it, after all the TV was off. As I got older it occured to me that all the lights were still on. It was worth it though and I was hooked after that.
Thought I'd have a little 30th anniversary fun.

ESB is just great !! the best of all the Star Wars movies, in my opinion..I can't pick anything in particular it's all brilliant !!
BTW this is me..the photoshopping is not by me..I'm computer useless..
And at Celebration Europe with the MAN! Mr Bullock !!
I'd love to see ESB on the big screen again, not sure if it's happening in the uk though, :cry
Cheers
