The Quote of the Day from ago!

Karen Miller (+2)
"That magnificent explosion of John Williams music&hellip;the title crawl&hellip;the rebel blockade runner coming overhead&hellip;and then, holy moly, the star destroyer. It was a defining moment in cinema, and it was a defining moment in my life. I fell in love, head over heels, jaw-dropped to my knees in love. And then we got the cantina sequence, and the introduction of one Han Solo. Harrison Ford all smartmouthed and sexy, lounging in that booth&hellip;I whispered to [my] friend's girlfriend&mdash;'Now he's a bit of all right' and really, that was it. I was a certified Star Wars fan from that moment in 1977 and I've never stopped being one. Some stories are timeless. Some true loves never die."

Critical Intel (+6)
"Are Ewoks furry? Yes, and proudly so. Do they look like teddy bears? Indeed. But don't let that fool you. When you're on your back in the moss of a alien planet, head throbbing from blunt trauma and staring up into the blank eyes of an Ewok, when you feel his weight on your chest plate and moist breath on your face, when you feel the stone knife worming its way underneath your chinstrap you'll realize &hellip; This bear has claws."

Just A Normal Day For Han Solo (+4)
