A long time ago

This photo, swiped from the blog of lovely Monsters and Rockets reader Idisme, depicts the original Star Wars cast sometime in the '70s, apparently on their way to have their portraits taken at Sears. Left to right, you got Han Solo, Darth Vader, Chewie, Leia, R2 and a rather grouchy-looking Luke.

Got a tip for Monsters and Rockets? Want to contribute to the site? Send us an email.

Thank you! When I saw this photo on your blog, I knew I had to swipe it right away. It kind of drives home that these were just PEOPLE playing these iconic roles... This photo makes me think of picture day in high school, or a family reunion.

About This Blog

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
