There, I saw my childhood home, and the changes that had been made to it--like
turning the 70's-tastic greenhouse into a new entryway. I heard about the downing of trees in the yard that were as old as I was. And disliked things as
I did, there was nothing I could do about it...
....because my mother sold the house in 1984.
Deal, George. Deal and pleasure yourself atop the pile of Disney-money garnered
from your Faustian bargain.
Oh and PS:
After those crap-tastic prequels? I'll take "retro" any damned day of the week.
Any day, George...even Sunday. and Sunday's a crappy day of the week.

Just imagine such a sentence being heard in 1977:
The point of Star Wars is to introduce the cast!?
*grin* :-o
Oh boy, give me the original trilogy any day (again). ;)

Star Wars wasn't the 7th in an ongoing series. It wasn't even made as
the first part of a trilogy.
