I was around eight years old and my family headed to our local theater to find it totally packed! The only place we could find a seat was in the very front row. All I can say, is that movie absolutely blew my eight year old mind! To this day, I am such a huge fan of Sci-Fi and Fantasy and I think I have the Star Wars saga to thank for that! In celebration of Star Wars Day (May the 4th Be With You) we have a…
