May the Force and the Fourth and a May First Birthday
My birthday is on May 1st.
Last year was a birthday under lockdown. This year it is still going to be from a point of physical distance, I am planning to close the emotional gap with a month of my very favorite thing in the universe, STAR WARS.
This story is bonded to my sense of being. It landed for me when I was thirteen and facing a series of losses in my family and way of life.
Star Wars became a friend and a place of refuge for me, I spent many hours each week earning enough money to see it at weekend matinees as it was held over for a year.
In this spirit remembrance and fun, I am constructing a month of Star Wars centric viewing.
The start of the month will be a weekend of the original trilogy of films: A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. The second weekend will be for some of the Star Wars Stories: Rogue One, Solo, and the animated feature Clone Wars. The third weekend is back to the saga with a look at the prequels: Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith. And my final weekend will be filled with the recent Skywalker Saga films: The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker. During the week nights I will be peppering in some of the animated series offerings, highlights from Rebels, Clone Wars the Micro Series, and Clone Wars. Oh, and maybe a Lego version or two will cross my eyeballs before the month is out.
