    Lived through it, had the toys (original), specifically of Empire, AT-AT, Snowglider etc, also Jabbat and so on. Frikkin' loved it. But, that said, only saw the 1st two (back to back in Cinema) before I had to wait a good while for Jedi, 1995, I bought the special edition video box at the time.

    Obviously I watch +2.

    Been waiting for an Open World game for frikkin' ever, a little like the Old Privateer game (Wing-Commander series, which had Mark Hammil in it funny enough).

    If anything deserves a remake/revival it is the Wing Commander series (both on Silver and Game sit).

    In any case, I guess coming into Star Wars on Manga is not something a lot of People outside of Nippon would be able to say.

    I met a friend in Mexico who also had a big collection like that, all the planes and destroyers, all that stuff, a Luke Skywalker figure, everything, he was very proud of his collection, and he got it all through the years as he was growing up around the time the movies were coming out, he lived through all of it and i can't deny that i felt envy lmao. Must have been amazing to live through it in real time

    He had all that stuff in a room at his home, you were allowed to watch, "but not to touch" lol, but perfectly understandable, those are not replaceable items

    Lol, yes, that's a very odd thing for sure

    Back then, for me, the world was very very small. It's a very odd thing in the end, how you accept some things as "this is the best thing in the world" and then later on you find that it was just a small glimpse of the entire thing

    I had a neighbor that came over when I was a kid and we would play with his Star Wars figures. He had a least 20 in a Darth Vader or Storm Tropper carrying case. I thought it was neat that the small plastic lightsabers would extend out of their arms.

    Below is one of the original “Yodas” at SkyWalker Ranch which is on Lucas Valley Road, Nicasio, CA. Another is in the main entrance of the building where George Lucas has his office. He had Star Wars figurines lined up on his fireplace mantle, and beautiful artwork and sculptures in his office and around the ranch.



    Off topic, so I shortened it.

    George decided to build SkyWalker Ranch which is on Lucas Valley Road, Nicasio, CA.
    The original name for Luke Skywalker was Starkiller.

    Montauk Project Experiments in Time by Peter Moon
    There's a traffic circle at Skywalker Ranch.
    Quote P120. There’s a planetary cross point at Montauk Air force station which is within a traffic circle. It’s a common theme since WWI for military bases to be placed on grid points of the planet.
    Peter Moon Books (post#10)
    Quote P104. Preston was fired again because a nearby radio station interfered with the premiere of The Empire Strikes Back. The Star Wars movies were based on George’s writings called Journal of the Wills/Whills. They came from dreams he’s had his whole life. Preston believed he is part of a group that came from the old universe. His dreams could also be part of mind control. Lucas did a film called Dreamscape which could be a takeoff of Duncan Cameron’s accessing people’s dreams. One of his targets was Jimmy Carter. Preston heard George bought a house in Montauk.
    The Ascension Mysteries (post#20)
    Considering this information Lucas is probably chipped.
    Quote A writer for Star Trek: The Next Generation has a brain implant that Gray type aliens put there to seed stories through his dreams p270-271.
    According to the book The Dulce Wars by Branton DREAM is an acronym for Data Repository Establishment And Maintenance. That's in reference to Dreamland under Groom Range in Nevada.

    Kerry Cassidy said another name for MJ-12 is Scion/Zion & PI-40.

    Post update 06/30/22

    Three movies were filmed in Nicasio and one song was recorded.

    The People was a 1972 film starring William Shatner.
    Quote Melodye soon discovers that the secluded and "backwards" residents are actually aliens with mild paranormal powers. A natural disaster destroyed their planet, and they are hoping to establish a life on Earth. Landing in the late 1800s, initially they shared their secret with local residents, but found themselves condemned as witches.
    The Shoot the Moon
    Quote In Marin County, California, writer George Dunlap and his wife Faith are an unhappy couple who live with their daughters Sherry, Jill, Marianne, and Molly in a farmhouse that George has refurbished. George is preparing to attend an awards banquet in his honor, when he makes a phone call to Sandy, a single mother with whom he has begun an affair. Sherry, the oldest of the four children, picks up the phone and listens in on the conversation.

    After the children leave for school the next morning, Faith expresses her suspicions of the affair, prompting George to leave and move into his beach house. Sherry refuses to speak to George, while her sisters visit George on weekends. Jill, Marianne and Molly also meet Sandy, who harbors cynicism towards them and views them as a distraction in her sexual affair with George.
    Village of the Damned starring Mark Hamill
    Quote The people and animals of the sleepy coastal town of Midwich in California's Marin County fall asleep at a 10 AM "blackout" and regain consciousness at 4 PM. Following the blackout, ten women are mysteriously pregnant, including a virgin girl and a married woman who has not been sexually active for a year due to her husband being away for work in Tokyo. None of them seek abortions after having dreams, and all the babies are born the same night in a barn – five boys and five girls, though the virgin's daughter is stillborn due to umbilical asphyxia. The surviving children are healthy but have pale skin, white-blonde hair, cobalt eyes, and fierce intellect.
    Daughter by Pearl Jam
    Quote Alone, listless
    Breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
    Young girl, violence
    Center of her own attention
    The mother reads aloud, child tries to understand it
    Tries to make her proud
    The shades go down, it's in her head
    Painted room, can't deny there's something wrong
    Don't call me daughter, not fit to
    The picture kept will remind me
    Don't call me daughter, not fit to
    The picture kept will remind me
    Don't call me
    She holds the hand that holds her down
    She will rise above, uh uh
    Don't call me daughter, not fit to
    The picture kept will remind me
    Don't call me daughter, not fit to
    The picture kept will remind me
    Don't call me daughter, not fit to
    The picture kept will remind me
    Don't call me daughter, not fit to
    The picture kept will remind me
    Don't call me
    The shades go down
    The shades go down
    The shades go go
    Go
