Today, May 25th, marks the 45th anniversary of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope…or as it was called then, Star Wars! When I started this blog I wrote about Star Wars all the time. Now it’s been years (literally!) since I wrote anything about the galaxy far, far away. My last Star Wars piece was in December of 2019, my reaction to and reflection on The Rise of Skywalker. I just haven’t had much to say about Star Wars as we go further into the Disney Canon. However, I wanted to write something to mark this occasion. Kiri wrote a beautiful (and super fun!) piece over on Star Wars Anonymous a year ago about her favorite Star Wars memories. I loved her post and told her I was excited to nick her idea and compile my own list of Star Wars memories. The wheels began turning as memories and moments came to mind…I just never wrote it. But the 45th anniversary of A New Hope’s original theatrical release feels like the perfect time to get nostalgic!
