The March of the Twelve Backs: September 2014
http://12backs.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 1, 2014. The 1977 "Star Wars" Movie Program. When "Star Wars" first hit the theaters some theaters offered special complimentary movie programs to movie goers. This was a first run item not duplicated or repeated when "Star Wars" was rerun in theaters the following year. I don't remember ever having one of these but my wife says that she got one when she went to see "Star Wars" and she had it for a long time through her childhood. Christopher T. Shields.

The March of the Twelve Backs: June 2013

Saturday, June 15, 2013. Ghosts of Hattiesburg: Theaters that once showed "Star Wars" and that are now gone but not forgotten . Here is the entrance to the old Cloverleaf Cinema in the old Cloverleaf Mall. You can see one of the stage door / emergency exits there to the right. I couldn't get into the mall there to take a pic of the inside as it looked like most of that entrance had been remodeled and may now be an entrance to a business office complex. The Gulf States Hardy Court Cinema Twin. Almost two ...

The March of the Twelve Backs: Estes "Star Wars" Flying Model Rockets
http://12backs.blogspot.com/2014/03/estes-star-wars-flying-model-rockets.html
Saturday, March 8, 2014. Estes "Star Wars" Flying Model Rockets. With the success of "Star Wars" it was only natural that Estes would want to get in on the huge cash pie. Enter the Estes flying models in the "Star Wars" flavor. In the late 1970's Estes produced several flying rocket models under the "Star Wars" license; the Proton Torpedo, the X-Wing Fighter, the TIE Fighter, and IIRC, a flying R2D2 rocket (yeah, where was that in the movie? Discussion for another time, I guess. Given that, here's th...
