Thirty years have past since Star Wars came out on the silver screen. To some reading this entry that means that this entire time, you've lived with the knowledge that there has always been a Star Wars. You're parents are older than Star Wars, but Star Wars will be timeless while your parents pander to the cliché script that Star Wars offered us all.
BUT, there is a luddite at Wired who has just watched Star Wars for the first time. Ever. Yes that's right, someone has managed to keep away form Star Wars for 30 years. He might be the last man in America that hasn't seen Star Wars.
He might be the last man to watch Star Wars, but his observations about he movie aren't too far off.
No wonder Guinness bailed out after the first movie. When you’ve played Col. Nicholson in Bridge on the River Kwai and Prince Feisal in Lawrence of Arabia, donning the threadbare cosset of a washed-up Jedi knight and swapping sophmoric banalities with third-rate actors must have been a severe shock to the system.
