Star Wars is celebrating its 30th anniversary. That is, in 1977 Star Wars: Episode IV, A New Hope, premiered in theaters. Of course, back then we didn't know it was the fourth episode nor that it was called "A New Hope."

Now why isn't Twentieth-Century Fox rereleasing the original Star Wars in theaters? Personally, I would love to take my son and see this movie on the big screen -- the way I originally saw it. I think it would sell big. Bigger than most of the "original" blockbusters or sequels that are being released this summer. Sure the 70s special effects are antiquated and Mark Hamill's acting needs work (check out that doubletake in the scene where a clean C3PO informs Luke that the droids might have seen some action in the rebellion), but the movie had heart.

This next item is for my son, who loves all things Star Wars: Not many people have had the opportunity to play with these, but they must be worth something. They're still in their original packaging.
