May the Fourth Be With You – in DECEMBER!

SKIPNOTE: Yep, Little Ducks, today's the day! The opening of the HIGHLY anticipated Ninth Addition to the Star Wars Trilogy: The Force Awakens.

BFF Donna and I were at Comic-Con this past summer and watched the Star Wars panel, which included the Director (J.J. Abrams), Producer (Kathleen Kennedy), and Writer (Lawrence Kasdan), along with Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamil, Harrison Ford, all of the new major cast members of this one (good guys AND bad), and a freakin' Star Wars CONCERT... so we've been pretty pumped to see this new movie.

But the franchise has had its ups and downs. The most controversial was, by far, the prequels. But George Lucas has a lot of detractors back in 1997 when he decided to digitally remaster the original trilogy.

So, while this is an INCREDIBLY dated post, I thought it was worth dusting off one last time.
