This woman saved Star Wars. Without her there would be no Star Wars. She went in and re-cut the trench run scene so it actually made sense after Lucas showed it to a bunch of people and they laughed at it. Seriously a legend. May the force be with you. Thank you.

Last one! Congratulations @lucas_belch ! I am so proud of you!!

I was 7 and saw this at least 6 Saturdays in a row maybe as many as 10 if dad’s memory is correct. Mom would go grocery shopping and get some peace, and dad would take my brother and I to the theater next door. It has been part of my life ever since.

365 days ago, Tyrese Haliburton hit this shot capping off an insane comeback to send us to OT 👀

[Zach Vogt @ZachVogt30]

Tyrese Haliburton dropped 32 PTS, 15 AST, 12 REB and 0 TURNOVERS in Game 4 of the ECF to take a 3-1 lead and I’m supposed to believe it isn’t one of the 25 best performances in the last 25 years?? 😭😭😭

On this day in 2024, we moved on to the Eastern Conference Finals after beating the Knicks 130-109 in Game 7 🔥

US President Ronald Reagan was shown "WarGames" (1983) at Camp David the weekend it was released. He loved the movie but it also freaked him out. A few days later, at a White House meeting that included the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Reagan asked, “Could something like this really happen? Could someone break into our most sensitive computers?”

The answer came back a week later: “Mr. President, the problem is much worse than you think.” That led not only to a significant revamp of how computer security was handled at the Defense Department, but also passage of an anti-hacking law that would eventually evolve into US Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, 1986. Clips of "WarGames" (1983) were shown during the congressional hearings where lawmakers debated the need for hacking legislation.

P.S: On this day, 43 years ago, John Badham's "WarGames" (1983) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.

Luthen Rael’s monologue in Andor (2022) is still one of the most powerful moments from any recent Star Wars project.
