Geez I feel old. I was already paying alimony when Star Wars came out. And Child Support too. We had one little rincky-dink theatre in town and I had to wait so long to see it that Vader had time to father 3 more kids. :o  I didn't even see a zipper in that suit he wore. Those were great times back in '70's.

^We're really close in age. I was three when Star Wars was released to theaters. My Grandma took me to see it (she loved sci-fi) but apparently I spent the whole two hours staring at the woman behind me instead of watching the movie :)


Sooooo.  You were one of those kids.

I've regularly had young children stare at me in public places (restaraunts, etc) almost the whole time I was there.  Hopefully because I'm tall and rather loud, and not because I seem like a nutjob.  :D

I remember my mom and I went to take my grandma to see the original Star Wars, but the line was around the frigging block, so mom was all "noooope" that night. She and my dad loved it and I think we saw it four or five times in theaters.

QuoteSelling a slightly used Imperial II–class Star Destroyer.

Previously (slightly) owned by a navigator of a spice freighter, this vessel has been sitting on my moisture farm and needs to be removed before next year's harvest. I just haven't had time to give this classic the attention it deserves and my loss is someone else's gain!

1600 meters in length this bad boy has a maximum atmospheric speed of 975 km/h and an acceleration of >2,300 g. It's got a Class 2 hyperdrive system still in working order with a backup Class 8. SFS I-a2b solar ionization reactor is in good to excellent shape. KDY Destroyer-I ion engine turns over on the first try but may need a new serpentine belt.

As you can see by the picture provided, the deflector shield generator domes are intact. That is a state of the art ISD-72x.

Fully equipped with LeGrange targeting computers, heavy ion cannons, Phylon Q7 tractor beam projectors, leather bucket seats, and a 15-disc CD changer.

36,000 tons of cargo capacity, this beauty was ran with a crew of 37,085 but you can pull it off with a minimum of 5000 leaving you plenty of room to pack in a few extra AT-AT walkers, TIE starfighters, prefabricated garrison bases, Lambda-class shuttles, yards of soil, spool after spool of pipe, and jet skis.

This superstructure is perfect for long road trips with the family, discovering new galaxies, picking up girls for dates, and general destruction of your enemies. Have you ever seen what a Star Destroyer can do to the surface of an unshielded planet? Stones run like water and sand turns to glass. With just a little TLC, this baby can be good as new.

Brand new, this beauty of the skies runs at about 145,670,000 credits, but due to some carbon scoring I can be flexible on the price. Realistically, I just need it removed from my property, so all offers or trades will be considered. Make me an offer, no mind tricks.

Still, 975km/h is only about 525 knots, therefore their argument is already invalid before it's made.  :))

Who are those old people? Star Wars characters are supposed to never age. Something about the Mydrocondrens I think.
