    I am looking forward to all the Star Wars movies in the near future. Oh how I wish I could come out in one or all of the movies. Star Wars has saved my life growing up in a broken home. It kept me alive…Thank you George and everyone who made “Star Wars” possible. May the Force be with you…Always.

    They were told No….they are too old to begin the training. They are not ready. But they said I’m not afraid, and took the challenge and began their journey as accomplished Jedi Knights.
