Original Star Wars Movie Being Re-Released in Theatres For Its 50th Anniversary

Easily the movie I’ve watched the most times in my life. In the olden days when you would rent a VCR and get four movies to watch over a weekend, I would watch this multiple times. Over the years, I’ve probably watched it two dozen times? Maybe more. Star Wars. Not Episode 4. Not A […]
