Considering I probably saw the original in the theater before you were born, YOU TAKE THAT BACK.

I was born in 75 so ill defer but I saw Star Wars and empire in 83 in a cinema so bite down.

Pretty sure McP won this thread in a Reagan '84-like landslide.

He wins most threads he posts in. He's a master.

In 1980 for Christmas I got a Millenium Falcon and a Doug Williams Buccaneers jersey. Still my best Christmas ever.

Anything Millennium Falcon related is a win. But I do remember that one and got it myself years later.

Sort of jealous of kids and grown up collectors today.

If your givens Star Wars Lego as a kid I would have exploded.
Now it's everywhere:(

[E.H. Ruddock]

Also as a kid I left my Boba Fett figure at a restaurant and was devastated for a week. My parents wouldn't get me a new one.

[dimejinky99]

Bummer.
I saw the original Boba Fett costume once. It was cool.

A few words from Abrams on the recent scriptwriting changes. Something along the lines of 'No big deal...you can go about your business...move along...'

Casting director Maryellen Aviano will be in Chicago Nov. 14 in search of young actors to fill two roles. One will be for a female in the 17-18 range to play a character named Rachel. She is described as a “street smart, independent, athletic, natural beauty,” with the role open to “all ethnicities, multi & bi-racial.”

A male in the 19-23 range is also being sought to play a character described as “athletic, smart, handsome,” and “independent spirited.” The character, named Thomas, has “grown up without a father’s influence. Without the model of being a man, he doesn’t have the strongest sense of himself.”

The Chicago auditions will occur on Thursday, Nov. 14 at the Park West event space from 3-8 p.m.

There are also other audition notices across the country:

Troy, Michigan – Nov. 17
Austin, Texas – Nov. 22
Nashville, Tennessee – Nov. 24

Keeping my eyes open for late-thirties, slightly-out-of-shape, hairy guy.

[McParadigm]

I don't think Hollywood "slightly out of shape" is the same as North Carolina "slightly out of shape," though.

[lowlight79]

Hollywood out of shape means tight skinny jeans while N.C out of shape means sweat pants.
