Star Wars: hokey, ridiculous... and completely brilliant. For me too this movie looms large as a presence in my childhood. I had a Luke Skywalker action figure. Luke - played by Mark Hamill, or as my friend's Mom used to say:
"Not mah horse, not mah donkey, but mah camel." :)
That is awesome! My friend and I had the Luke in battle fatigues figure (along with all the others). We had never seen that word so we pronounced it "Fat - i- gez". His mom corrected us. We said "That's nice but 'ft-i-gez' sounds cooler."
