I know I probably already made a thread but this title was just too irresistible and I wanted to make this special day more special with a unique thread. Today is Star Wars day, the franchise that gave way for Sandy Frank to acquire Gatchaman And launch it worldwide as Battle Of The Planets. Awesome ...

Well, I do know Battle was absolutely iconic and I did see how well it did in ratings. But so far I havent had that "Oh wow this show is HUGE!" flex moment.
