Are you a Star Wars geek? Did you know that before there were Star Wars movies, there was a book series? I have a copy of the original "Splinter in the Mind's Eye" a title in the series off which George Lucas bases his uber-popular trilogies. Are you looking forward to the long-anticipated Star Wars Episode VII coming out December, 2015? Many of the original cast returns including Harrison Ford (Han Solo), Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) and Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia), Kenny Baker (R2-D2), Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca--and my favorite Star Wars character) and Anthony Daniels (C3PO).
The movie series began in 1977 with episodes IV--Star Wars, A New Hope, V--The Empire Strikes Back in 1980 and VI--Return of the Jedi in 1982 (I think). In the late 1990s, the series restarted with the next three episodes, which were actually the first three in the story series: I--The Phantom Menace, II-- Attack of the Clones and III--Revenge of the Sith. The Clone Wars brings the Star Wars series to a new genre: animated cartoons. Star Wars characters return in The Clone Wars, plus some new folks. Free Printable Star Wars Coloring Pages
