...Classes of 1999 to 2002, have very little in common with each other. Our backgrounds differ far more than we assume, and even our college experiences are not the same. The only thing we clearly share is our age. But that means that, if all goes well, we will grow old together, you and I. My memories are bound up with yours.

After The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, the Star Wars phenomenon continued to grow, and it is about to receive a fresh jolt of life with the release of the first chapter of the Prequel Trilogy, The Phantom Menace...
