30th Anniversary Imminent

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

The 30th anniversary is officially tomorrow, May 25. In anticipation of this epic event, CNN has posted a preview of what we should expect.

Besides the History Channel special, “Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed,” which airs on Monday May 30 at 9 PM ET, we can expect a few more Star Wars goodies:

  • Several books (notably “The Making of Star Wars: The Definitive Story Behind the Original Film” [Del Rey]);
  • “Star Wars” weekends at the Disney-MGM Studios theme park near Orlando, Florida;
  • “Star Wars” Celebration IV, beginning Thursday in Los Angeles, California;
  • 30th-anniversary action figures, released by Hasbro;
  • A screening of all six films on Cinemax on Friday;
  • And even “Star Wars” postage stamps, to go along with all those R2-D2 mailboxes that the United States Postal Service has installed around the country.
