Star Wars ala Facebook

Posted by Unknown On Sunday, October 3, 2010 4 comments
I wonder how many of my readers are Star Wars fans? :-) Wikipedia states that Star Wars is an American epic space opera franchise conceived by George Lucas. The first film in the franchise was originally released on May 25, 1977, by 20th Century Fox, and became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon, followed by two sequels, released at three-year intervals. Sixteen years after the release of the trilogy's final film, the first in a new prequel trilogy of films was released, again released at three-year intervals, with the final film released on May 19, 2005.



As of 2008, the overall box office revenue generated by the six Star Wars films has totalled approximately $5.51 billion, making it the third-highest-grossing film series, behind only the James Bond and Harry Potter films. (How can that be??? Star Wars is better than Bond or Potter films!!! Yea! I am a Star Wars fan alright!)

Yesterday, I put up a post called What If Facebook Existed Many Years Ago? here and also in my Facebook profile. Subsequently, one of my former students, Dr. Adrian, who resides in Perth shared the following link with me called Five Star Wars Status Updates. Please click THIS LINK to visit that hilarious post :-).

Imagine - 124,085 people like that post so you just HAVE to go to that link and enjoy the humor!!!

    Anonymous Why watch the trailer, when we all have the entire Hexalogy on DVD's, both the "Original", as well as the Re-release versions?

    Just for the record, I also have the early trilogy on LD !!

    James Bond has 22 movies. Star Wars has 6. Do the math. 6 films bungkus 22. On the other hand, there have been 6 Potty Films, with another 2 in the making. So.....


    Peace

    :-) I see you are a fan ...and a real solid follower! Do you happen to collect Star Wars figurines and toys as well? I do :-) but on a small scale only. They are too expensive. I have another friend who has a whole room filled with them in display cabinets!

    The trailer was to tempt non-Star Wars followers and hopefully, to convert them.

    Love your reference to potty films :-) LOL!! Good one there.

    Thanks for sharing. Take care and do keep in touch!

    May the Force be with you!

    Cheers!
