This planet is swarming with movie fans. I don't care where you live or where you visit, you're bound to find tons of people who love cinema. It's become intrinsic for the most part. Now, in this realm of cinematic features, there's only one that stirs more attention and receives more dedication than anything I've ever laid eyes upon. It's the one and only George Lucas classic known as "star Wars." Even all its sequels have been smash hits. How else can you explain the deluge of storm troopers each Halloween? This passion for a Sci-Fi film is kind of ridiculous, but amusing at the same time. Last October 31st, I spotted a Darth Maul costume while trudging around the neighborhood with my daughter. How many "Star Wars" costumes did you encounter on last Halloween? The tradition is like no other. We all get excited when fall hits and the cool air moves in to clean out the funk left over from summer. In no time it's Halloween and we're picking out that werewolf, vampire, princess, or Darth Maul costume. This is quite the process I might add. Just choosing any old get-up will never do. It's imperative to select a costume that suits our current personality and taste. Maybe for you that's a Darth Maul costume and maybe it's a Freddy Kruger get-up. It really doesn't matter as long as you get to make the choice on your own. I learned this from my kids. There is no way I can ever pick out a Halloween costume for them. It's far too personal. This is why I give them the price cut-off and let them choose on their own. They never cease to surprise me. Can you here the theme song playing? I know I can. That "Star Wars" epidemic was sure a powerful mark in cinema. I doubt that it will ever fade into the past. There will always be a new generation of "Star Wars" fanatics to carry on the legacy. You'll spot them on Halloween night. Look for the child with the Princess Laya or Darth Maul costume. It's that simple. Personally I'm going to have to go with the Michael Myers legacy. It's much scarier if you ask me.
