[Utah-astronomy] May the 4th

Can I assume May 4, 1977 is the date the original Star Wars movie opened, hence Star Wars Day?   Think some people have been watching too much "Big Bang Theory."    For those Star Wars fans out there, J.J. Abrams, aka the guy who rebooted Star Trek with Chris Pine has got Lucas's blessing to finish the series.  Episode VII has been cast and you  might recognize some, by now, old folks - familiar names are Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher.  Suspect they will be more than cameos, but they aren't the main characters.  Sort of passing the baton, look for movie release in 2015.
