Welcome to your Weekend Posted. We were perusing Wikipedia on Friday looking for a bit of a fun fact to add to this introduction and came across quite a good one: On May 25, 1977, Star Wars: A New Hope debuted in U.S. theatres. Hopefully the weather is good for you this weekend and you can enjoy some time outside. But if not, why not go back 47 years and experience the first — and arguably the best — Star Wars film.
