Posted by Hello

Star Wars: The Circle is now complete.....

Revenge of the Sith came out on May 19th and ended for me a journey that began 28 years ago... A lot of emotions came with this end of an era....this email that i wrote 2 Kelli and the kids the morning after sums it all up.....

I just wanted 2 thank u 4 riding on this Star Wars journey with me...I felt many things yesterday as we got ready and enjoyed "Revenge of the Sith".....

I thought of Kelli and how when she met me and how thanks 2 her brother Bobby didn't "Hate" Star Wars and over the years put up with and learned 2 love these movies as much as i do. How u put up and embraced the idea of Luke as a sons name and Amidala as a daughter's name. how she bought happy meals, went 2 Midnight Toy Sales and helped make Star Wars a part of our lives..Without U, it wouldn't have been sooooo special 2 all of us...cause if Momma aint happy, aint nobody happy...Thanx 4 loving Star Wars ... U are truely my Queen..

I thought of Jalen, 6 months old watching the original trilogy in front of the TV..the picture of Jar-Jar and Darth Maul u made me..the "Jedi Training" at MGM .the many talks, days playing with figures and enjoying these movies with u...we have enjoyed this journey 2gether .U were my 1st apprentice...

I thought of Luke, the first Star Wars name I got 2 use, the singing "Darth Vaders Theme" 2 u, 2 get u 2 stop crying, the fact that Darth Vader has ALWAYS been ur favorite and yes the many light saber battles, talks and days playing with legos and figures. I have always feared u turning 2 the dark side, but u 2 have been a great apprentice....

and then there is my Amidala....how wonderful it is 2 have u named that....I remember buying EVERYTHING with Amidala on it after Episode I came out....I remember how cute u were as Padme when we went 2 Episode II and putting up Amidala posters in ur room and now i look forward 2 training u in the ways of the force

I thought about my little darkside, Parker....how I will be able 2 tell u someday when ur older how u wanted a Star Wars Birthday when u were 3..how u loved...Darth Maul, Darth Vader and Qui Gon and how u r fitting into the family very nicely..."I will watch ur career with great interest"..the Darkside is strong with u...beware

all and all, I can't thank u enough .....there r tears in my eyes as i write this....tears of joy because Star Wars would NEVER mean as much 2 me if it wasn't 4 all of u.....

I LOVE U all Sooooooo much....thanks.....

John (Dad)
