Star Wars is 30 Years Old 223
javipas writes "On May 25th, 1977 the first film of the Star Wars Saga was released to theaters. Thirty years later, and celebrations are being held all around the globe. Wired has a series of articles entitled The Empire at 30, and many fans are posting about this particular birthday. For example, you can see the best 30 clips made by fans to celebrate this anniversary. The BBC is chronicling the journey of one man who had never seen Star Wars before. IGN has a rundown on some of the highlights of the Celebration convention, running this weekend."

Yeah, but this is Slashdot. Few slashdotters are familiar with such esoteric concepts as girls. Fewer still are familiar with how girls are shaped.
This is not the specialized knowledge you are looking for...

Actually, I suspect more slashdotters are familiar with how girls are shaped (or at least a subset thereof) than they are with the concept of actual girls.

Caught the Lego story on Digg today. Nice timing. I remember the first time Star Wars was re-released to theaters. My brother got caught running a red light on the way to the Uptown. I told him that the force was not with him. He didn't think it was very funny, especially when the cop found out he didn't have his license with him...

As a gay man who is excitedly anticipating his time eating dicks in hell I would like to file an official complaint that I would have to share the dicks to be eaten with that sloth fat ass Lucas. That Porker? would undoubtedly take more than his fair share of cock.

No offence, dude, but Carrie Fischer was hot enough in the late '70s that NOBODY would have thought that the hand-solo was her primary sexual outlet.
I'll bet she could've even gotten a rise out of that pansy droid, '3PO.

C3PO is Luke's mother, and the stormtroopers are all Boba Fett's natural children. (He's an inspiration to us all.) Obi-Wan Kenobi thinks all astromech droids look alike (thus demonstrating a soft bigotry against mechanical beings). Darth Vader was incredibly angsty and annoying as a teenager. ("KHOOOOH... HSSSS... I don't wanna clean my room! KHOOOOH... HSSSS... You can't make me!") Killing a hundred sand people doesn't make you a bad person, because they look like mummies, even their children. The emperor's complexion has actually improved with age, IMO. Either that, or in his old age, he wanted a more natural look and stopped getting Botox.
I could tell you more, but I don't want to completely ruin it for you.
