 HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUKE SKYWALKER!!!


According to the Star Wars Homing Beacon that I just read, George Lucas said that he started writing the very first draft of The Star Wars (the original title) on April 17, 1973. Thus, Luke's birthday was technically yesterday, but I just read the thing ten minutes ago has a date.

It didn't say anything about Leia or Han or anyone else, but Luke was definately in the first draft, with the name Skywalker, even. (It was later changed to Starkiller, and then back again).



And this is why most people won't watch Star Wars movies with me. I know far too much trivia about them, and I have trouble shutting up.

Meg: "Hey, does anybody want to watch Empire Strikes Back with me?"
Friends: "Sure, why not?"
Admiral Ackbar: "No, it's a trap!"
Friends: "!!!" *flee from Meg*
Meg: "..." *sobs uncontrollably*

That's what I pictured reading this entry.

Presumably, Luke and Leia would have the same birthday.

I always wondered if the rebel alliance celebrated birthdays. If they did, did Luke and Leia have joint parties before they knew they were twins?

Excellent point!

I keep trying to remember the thing that River says about birthdays, because of it being in space and all, but I can't quite recall it. I don't know if you can have birthdays in spce.

Ok. How hot is the midwest?

Also, there will be no sex before marriage, and our kids have to be raised Catholic. Just so you know.

Temp's alright, winter ends early, gets hot in the summer I hear, but we'll have an air conditioner. As for the no sex before marriage, that's ok...I guess. I'm ok with the Catholic thing, as long as its as Catholic Jedi. What's too young for your first lightsaber... we should shoot for twins too...You know...nostalgia...

Catholic Jedi... I support that. As for the lightsabers, how young do younglings get them? I think we'd have to test them for midichlorians before we determine when they can handle one.

Alright, bloodtests then we see about lightsabers, got ya. Should we pick a date?
