The Star Wars Special Edition 20th Anniversary

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!
