Today we celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Star Wars Special Edition!
There has been a lot of controversy over the years about the changes that were
made to the original film but I am glad we are still able to talk about a film
we all love at its core this many years later!
The Star Wars Special Edition was released in 1997 marking the end of the
"Dark Times" for those old enough to remember what it was like when
Return of the Jedi left the theater in 1983. At that time we thought we would
never see a Star Wars movie on the big screen again. Now 20 years later we are
looking forward to a new Star Wars movie every year! Unbelievable!
To celebrate the day, I am providing the trailer for that movie. I vividly
remember seeing this trailer for the first time and I have always loved how the
X-wing flies out of the TV and the music kicks in full gear! Remember the
excitement and the anticipation of seeing Star Wars on the big screen again!
Check out the trailer from the Galactic
Voyage YouTube Channel below!
Today is the last new sticker for the Series
1 (Red Cards) completing this series. It is available in the Star
Wars Cards section. This specific The Empire Strikes Back

Cards!
Chris Miller, the Co-Director of the new Han Solo Standalone Film tweeted the
image below with the caption "Han First Shot." A play on the long
debated Han Shot First scene from the Cantina in Star Wars: A New Hope. Good
luck to the cast and crew on making a great film!
Today's video is the Tour IV Scene 3 cutscene from the smash hit Star Wars:
X-Wing Video Game Tour of Duty: Imperial Pursuit expansion from 1994 where the Imperial Fleet prepares to attack the Rebels.
