A long time ago (40 years), in a galaxy far, far away, I sat in a theater transfixed by the story unfolding before me: Star Wars! It was the most amazing film I had ever seen and to this day is still my favorite movie. It had such an impact on me that my wife – also a huge fan – and I named our first son Lukas after Luke Skywalker and George Lucas. Thank goodness Star Wars replaced my second-favorite movie, Young Frankenstein, or he might have been named Friedrich or Igor.Today is Star Wars Day. It was chosen for the easy pun on the catchphrase "May the Force be with you" as "May the Fourth be with you.” Let’s see how much you know about this iconic movie franchise.
