So, I'm downloading the Star Wars Theme for CVett to use for her one-act. And the minute that music starts, I'm taken back, back, back to 1977, and sitting in a darkened movie theater that has long since been torn down. I sit, anticipating a movie, that as a 17-year-old female, I've really heard very little about. But I'm there. What the heck. A 25¢ box of popcorn and a box of milk duds. A 100% real Coke (I didn't drink diet soda back then....). The lights go down. The music plays and the words role forward across the screen. Then, literally, from behind my head, a small ship zips forward followed by an unbelievably massive imperial star destroyer--the roar of the ship coming from behind and all around, swallowing us up in intergalactic noise. I actually looked up and behind to see where the ship was coming from. It was just so...awesome. Then the two robots: "They'll be no escape for the princess this time...." And really, the rest is history.
I need to put that theme song on my "Chris's Joy Music" CD. It never fails to make me smile.
